Renewable Energy Feasibility
Studies - Apex Renewable Energy Systems
What is Renewable Energy?
Renewable
energy sources can be replenished in a short period of time. The five
renewable sources used most often include hydropower (water), solar, wind,
geothermal, ground source heat pumps and air source heat pumps, biomass
and combined heat and power. Although some of the above are not strictly
totally renewable they are extremely efficient.
The use of renewable energy is not new.
Five generations (125 years) ago, wood supplied up to 90 percent of our
energy needs. Due to the convenience and low prices of fossil fuels, wood
use has fallen.
Energy has a long history. Beginning back before people could read and
write, fire was discovered to be good for cooking, heating and scaring
wild animals away. Fire was civilization's first great energy invention,
and wood was the main fuel for a long time.
One thing is certain Renewable energy's impact on the world's energy
picture is significant, and it is going to expand.
How
can you benefit from Apex's Feasibility studies?
The Government is encouraging not only home owners but also businesses
to look at using renewable energy and on site renewable energy, but which
could be right for you?
A feasibility study looks at the different on site renewable energy technologies
available to see which, if any, could be used. The renewable energy feasibility
study takes into account many factors such as location, building orientation,
building size, demand for particular energy at any given time, degree
days, wind speeds, availability of biomass fuels, planning issues etc.
Businesses in the North East of England can apply for a grant for to cover
60% of the costs of the feasibility study up to a maximum 10 days.
