Going Solar Costs

Solar Water Heating Systems

The sun today is such a reliable source of heat and light that sometimes It is take for granted. Through the Generations people have used glass and other materials and structures to capture and magnify the sun's energy and these systems have gradually evolved to form the basis of mature techniques that are used today to harness solar energy.

There are 3 basic approaches used today to gain maximum benefit of solar energy in buildings:

Passive Solar

Active Solar Heating

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems

Most homeowners today are very concerned about the spiraling cost of their central heating bills. It's now nearly on a daily basis either on the news or in the papers about the uncertainty surrounding energy prices on the world market.

You are not alone about the concern that now is being expressed about the now scary cost of heating bills. With energy costs higher than they have ever been in recent history, it now pays to look at ways to reduce your home heating costs. I have outlined a sustainable and, cost effective method that will help reduce your home heating bills by a significant amount!

Kyoto Protocol

Energy Performance of Buildings Directive

You may be aware of the phasing in of the new (EPBD) Energy Performance of Buildings Directive to come into force in Ireland on 1st January 2006, it is still unclear at present how the relevant Government bodies intends to implement this new legislation across the board, according to Kevin Farrelly Chairman of REGII (Registered Environmental Gas Installers Of Ireland) My own opinion is that it will be introduced on a phased basis and on a time-table from 2006 to 2009.
