Introduction In recent years, the importance of energy efficiency has become increasingly evident as societies worldwide seek to mitigate the impacts of climate change and reduce their carbon footprints. The commercial sector, which encompasses various industries and establishments, plays a significant role in energy consumption and emissions. To address this, implementing energy efficiency measures within […]

Creating a net-zero data center involves reducing energy consumption and ensuring that any remaining energy used is generated from renewable sources. Here are several steps you can take to make a data center net-zero: 1. Energy efficiency improvements Implement energy-efficient practices and technologies to minimize overall energy consumption. This includes:    – Virtualization: Consolidate servers

When it comes to older buildings in Swansea, a lot at 1850’s to 1900’s stone cottages, it’s estimated that over 35% of the residential properties are of this era – way before energy performance was a topic! These buildings require special consideration, modern external render and internal plaster causes lots of damp issues, and External

We looked at a property recently that had cavity wall insulation, but still had very cold rooms. Using a thermal imaging camera, we were able to show large patches of a wall that had very poor insulation, or defective insulation, or had been completely missed when installed. If you’d like a survey on your cavity

Let’s keep this really simple. Domestic / Residential You need a valid EPC to sell or rent a property. Rental properties currently have to be Band E on an EPC rating, there’s no minimum for selling (unless a valid exemption has been registered). There’s no minimum for selling. Commercial You need a valid EPC to

I recently was speaking to a property developer about rotten joists that had happened due to energy improvement works. What had happened, was that the rooms had been well insulated with Internal Wall Insulation, but the property was a solid stone external wall built circa 1850-80. Under the floorboards, no insulation had been put in,

We’re all guilty of it, chucking away a piece of paper we don’t think we’ll need, or not getting detailed receipts for building works. I see it all the time with landlords undertaking projects themselves, buy refurbish rent. But when it comes to an EPC, if it can’t be seen, and can’t be evidenced, it

The answer may not be as simple as you first think… When it comes to the energy efficiency of your property, there are a number of factors that come into play. One such factor is the age of your property. You might assume that an older property would be less energy-efficient than a newer one,

You might be familiar with the term EPC if you’ve recently had an energy performance certificate (EPC) carried out on your property. A home’s energy efficiency can be measured with something called an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), which then assigns a rating to the home based on a scale that moves from more efficient to

The EPC rating of your home can have a big impact on how much you pay for energy bills. If you’re looking for ways to improve your rating and save money, you might be wondering if cavity wall insulation will help. In this post, we are going to discuss how insulating your cavity can affect
