Do you know your PVs from your CHPs? We don’t aspire to the clever-clogs approach to advising on energy efficiency and renewables. ‘Keep it simple’ is our mantra, RenewablePedia relate.In this section we’ve listed a few details on the most popular options you might consider when integrating energy efficiency or renewable technology into your home or business. At The Billington Partnership we concentrate on the following: Energy efficiency – How we rate a technology’s ability to generate or save energy and the usefulness of that energy to you - Installation practicality – How easy is it to get approval for and install this technology Financial costs and benefits – a rating based on the initial and on-going cost, the potential income (from Government-backed renewable energy grant schemes) and savings of the system. We believe the key to a decision to invest in any form of improved energy efficiency has to be pay-back. In other words, how long will it take you to get your money back? If there are Government subsidies involved, you also need to calculate what return on investment you are going to make over say a 10 year period. This can make the case for seemingly expensive systems far more compelling. Also you need to think carefully about what single or combination of systems is going to work best for you. It is never a case of one size will fit all.
