Architectural Support Services
The code for sustainable homes is dictating an extremely rapid pace of change to domestic building design. The government has placed a heavy responsibility on the shoulders of architects. The clearest indicator of this is that the government itself is not sure how, or indeed if, the 2016 target will be achievable in the mass housing market. There is a similar drive to integrate renewable technologies into commercial building design. More Information on the Code for Sustainable Homes.
Renewable Technologies Consultancy
Renewable Technologies (UK) Ltd is an enthusiastic supporter of the drive for carbon efficiency. We specialise in providing an impartial consultancy service to architects and businesses. We use our in depth knowledge of developments in sustainable technologies to design integrated energy solutions for inclusion in the design of both commercial and residential buildings. Our goal is to find the technology, or combination of technologies, which best suit each building and the processes contained within it, whilst paying regard to the surrounding environment. Choosing the best combination of Carbon Saving Technologies for your project can be a daunting task. The correct combination of technologies will depend largely on the type of building and its use; more and more in commercial buildings this involves the integration of the processes that the building was designed to house. Renewable Technologies can provide detailed energy engineering for business, and manufacturing processes, to optimise building energy use.
Heatwave Solar Thermal Panel
In our search for the best technologies we sometimes find a product which is so special we want to get involved. To date, there is only one product that we actively promote, and that is the Heatwave Solar Thermal Panel. This new generation of solar panel technology has been designed, engineered and manufactured in the UK. Built to the highest quality standards and designed uniquely for the UK and Northern European climate, Heatwave is efficient and effective in delivering more energy per mē than traditional solar technology. The Heatwave panel uses heatpipe technology to create a collector, that works as well on dull days as an evacuated tube collector whilst having the aesthetic appeal of the best looking of flat plate collectors. It reacts very rapidly to increases in light energy levels to maximise heat collected. As with all product vendors, we provide free technical assistance with integration of Heatwave solar collectors. The Technical area of the website is a valuable resource for all Architects, Engineers, and Solar Installers and can be accessed by simply registering your details.
Once you have registered you will be able to access CAD files, technical data, photographs for you to use, and a host of other useful information and software tools such as our QSol Calculators.
If your project is of a more complex nature, our team of renewable consultants will assist you with planning to code, and provide you with the information you need to enter into your SAP calculations.
To discuss your project or requirements with one of our solar technical engineers please contact us.
The Future of Solar Thermal Technology
Renewable Technologies is engaged in a number of research and design projects based around the solar heating and cooling area of the renewable energy industry. Our company brings sustainable, innovative ideas forward into viable products for the commercial and private sectors.
