Cooper, Stuart

Why it pays to take the green route - 2007 - Building Engineer 82(4) April 2007, 12-13(2) .

Examines the advantages and disadvantages of renewable energy. Explains the following renewables: biomass technology; ground source heat pumps; hydro electricity; solar heat and power; and wind power. Whilst micro-generation is local and people can have control over the power they generate, there are a number of potential dangers such as conflict between government departments, the risk of exaggerated selling and that the renewables sector will attract cowboys. Includes a case study of a solar system in Chesterfield.
