Most of the average household’s energy use goes into heating water, including radiators or underfloor heating. A source of free hot water to use instead of commercial energy can make a dramatic financial saving. Solar Water Heating is the renewable technology of choice for most households as it offers a quicker payback.

With a photovoltaic system you can produce electricity from daylight through a process called photovoltaic's (PV), even on cloudy days. With a 10 square metre collector area, around 900 KW per year of electricity can be generated. This quantity is equivalent to approximately 25% of the consumption of a 4-person household.

Ground heat pumps take advantage of the temperature difference between ambient air and that of the ground a few meters below the surface to create heat energy. Water is pumped through underground pipes, and a heat exchanger is used to extract the extra energy due to this temperature difference. For every unit of energy you use in this process, you get about 3-4 units back.

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are high performance building panels used in floors, walls, and roofs for residential and light commercial buildings. The panels are typically made by sandwiching a core of rigid foam plastic insulation between two structural skins of oriented strand board (OSB) to produce a rigid structure.

Windows and doors are the most common points of heat loss. The use of Double and Triple glazing reduces the amount of heat that is transmitted through the glass panes. The installation of these windows and sliding doors is also a key factor, since proper installation and closing mechanisms can dramatically reduce heat loss through drafts.

Sun Pipes provide a novel way of capturing natural sunlight and reflecting it inside a tube to channel it into darker areas. These units are mounted on the roof or where there is a line of sight fof the sun, and can be used to provide a diffused source of free ambient light to dark room on any floor, including basements.

Underfloor Water Heating works through a maze of underfloor, triple layered (plastic and metal) pipes that cover the entire surface area of the floor. They provide similar heating to electric and water based radiators and deliver it more uniformly under tiles, wooden floors and carpets. Since the water is run at lower temperatures, this type of heating is much cheaper to run.

Rain water harvesting is an effective way to reduce the dependence on mains supplied water and reduce metered water bills. Rain Water Harvesting captures rainfall and stores this water in discrete storage tanks that can be called upon for a vareity of uses such as washing machines, gardening, toilets.
