Once a building is as energy efficient as possible, renewable energy sources can be integrated to further reduce the buildings demand for fossil fuels. LEDA can provide all of the services required to enable the procurement of the optimum renewable energy solution for the project.

• Maximise the potential of renewables production to form the most efficient heating and power solutions for the different building requirements. Note it is vital that the building engineering installations are as energy efficient as possible to ensure the viability of the central process

• Examine lifetime costings for design solutions to enable informed choices

• Assist the team in understanding and allowing for the integration of renewables and the delivery of energy sources

• Determine the loading requirements and the required scale of the renewables

• Design the renewable energy solution most appropriate for the building

• Assist with sourcing/applying for energy/renewable associated grants

• Liaise with relevant bodies such as Biogas Association and Renewable Power Association (recently merged)

• Provide solutions for developments where planners require 10% or 20% renewable energy generation
