"Build Tight - Ventilate Right" - The green building mantra from the energy saving experts at the Energy Savings Trust (EST). To minimise energy consumption and cut CO2 emissions the construction industry are now required, by law, to provide airtight, super-insulated buildings with the most energy efficient ventilation possible. That’s all very well if you’re building from scratch, but what if you already own a home or commercial property? How do you rebuild tight – ventilate right?

Solarcrest offers energy saving and energy generating products designed for eco retrofitting existing buildings, or for new build projects requiring maximum energy efficiency. Products range from simple quick fixes like draught proofing, replacement LED lighting or super insulation, to more ambitious micro generation equipment to produce energy using renewable fuels, the sun, the wind or biofuelss. While every product offers cash and climate saving benefits, before you begin your low carbon journey or get dazzled by eco bling we recommend you start with an informed plan of action, beginning with an Energy Efficiency Assessment.
