Green Energy
Green Energy is the use of low carbon energy technologies, such as solar panels or wind turbines, to produce electricity or heat in homes as well as business and community buildings. It provides a form of energy that is low (or zero) carbon and reduces the use of fossil fuels that are harmful to the environment.
Renewable energy sources are in demand, therefore prices can be higher, however business’ can benefit as Climate Change Levy (CCL) is not charged for certain types of renewable energy
There are a number of renewable energy technologies available to businesses, some of which are incorporated into new buildings, as they are built. Others can easily be added to an existing building.
Technologies that are commercially available today for small businesses include:
Bio fuels
Geothermal heat pumps
Passive solar heating
Photovoltaic (solar cell) systems
Solar hot water systems
Wind energy
Owing to the present economic climate, companies are investigating a number of ways to reduce overhead and operating costs. One area receiving increased attention to be more efficient is “Green” energy . Gas and electric prices have become highly volatile, so reducing and controlling energy costs has become more important to stabilise company budgets.
i Commercial and “Green” energy
Managing utility costs is critical for determining utility expenditure. Prior to offering potential alternatives, it is important to identify
key areas within a client’s operations that need to be addressed. By deploying this approach, a number of options can be evaluated to
best determine the maximum savings achievable, alongside the cost of implementation. This is the approach employed by
iCommercial.
