Low or Zero Carbon Energy Sources: Strategic Guide

  • Format: Unknown

  • Publisher: NBS

  • Date Published: May 2006

Description

The desire to exploit LZC energy sources is driving the rapid development of many technologies and these are increasingly being installed in buildings, eg. small-scale and micro-CHP units, photovoltaic panels and building-mounted wind generators.

This strategic guide provides sufficient information to enable the reader to decide if a particular LZC energy source is appropriate for the building under consideration and to estimate the potential for carbon dioxide emissions reduction. The guide comprises:

an introduction to LZC energy sources, focusing on building-integrated/building-attached applications

  • a set of calculation methods to enable the carbon dioxide emissions reduction potential of individual LZC energy sources to be calculated in domestic and non-domestic building applications
  • outline guidance on key issues for certain LZC energy sources where this is lacking in current literature
  • references to recommended performance standards and guidance information
