Commercial Eco Retrofit
Lowering your bills by lowering your carbon footprint
To achieve the most cost effective eco refurbishment to a commercial property start with the lowest hanging fruit, i.e. the least cost highest gain money and carbon saving activity. When you can clearly show what you can save and how you can save it, you may find you qualify for a low carbon grant or an interest free, unsecured Pay As You Save business loan from the Carbon Trust.
Energy Efficiency Loans from the Carbon Trust are a
cost effective way to replace or upgrade your existing
equipment with a more energy efficient version.
This means an immediate benefit from carbon, energy
and cost savings. Solarcrest can provide
details of Carbon Trust interest-free loans and assist you in completing your application. With all loan applications, products and costs independently verified by the Carbon Trust, you can be sure your savings will be greater than your repayments.
Save just 11,000 units on your annual electricity consumption, around 6 tons of CO2 emissions or £1,000 on your bill, and you could qualify for a £2,400 interest free loan. Every additional 2.5 tonnes saved entitles you to an extra £1,000. With zero interest and PAYS repayments you may not need to find money in order to save money.
Lowering your bills by lowering your Carbon footprint sounds great, but what does it involve and what should you look at first? Our bright idea is to start with your light bulbs..
Phase 1: Ultra efficient lighting (LED)
An LED lighting refit is the easy way to cut your electricity bills, reduce your carbon footprint and see fast capital repayment, typically around 12-18 months. With interest free, pay as you save loans available for going green*, why not start with the eco products that save the most carbon (and money) per pound spent?

* Solarcrest supply 2', 3', 4', 5', 6', 8' and 2D LED replacement tubes, MR16 and GU10 halogen replacements, 10W, 20W, 30W, 40W, 60W replacement bulbs with BC or E27 fittings along with high bay and other types of ultra efficient commercial lighting.
Phase 2: Airtight insulation with heat recovery ventilation
Space heating bills can significantly reduced by super insulating the roof and walls of your building. As airtightness improves greater focus should be given to ventilation, which can account for over 20% of your total building heat loss. Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) is now widely accepted to be THE must have retrofit technology, as it improves air quality and removes moisture without wasting energy. Many commercial buildings lend themselves to super insulation with heat recovery ventilation.

* To design your heat recovery ventilation system we require floor plans, elevations & joist layout if appropriate
Phase 3: Solar Photovoltaic's (to earn Feed-In-Tariffs)
Generous Feed-In-Tariffs are already available to those who generate renewable energy from the sun via photovoltaic (PV) generators mounted on the roof. The rates are so attractive that energy brokers are now willing to pay all capital costs as well as a rental income to anyone with spare roof space, in return for the tariffs generated.
If you own a commercial building or buildings with a reasonable size South facing roof, ideally over 250m2, you could be missing a lucrative revenue stream. With Cameron & Clegg pledging to be 'the greenest government in history', and 'Renewable Heat Incentives' just around the corner, the time to start planning is now.

* Carbon Trust loans will not extend to Solar PV.
