Over 170 local authorities have, or are in the process of introducing, renewable energy requirements as planning policy. Regional Development Agencies are now pushing for up to 20% on-site renewables contributions for major planning applications. Eight Associates is able to provide detailed and accurate renewable energy statements in support of planning applications. We have a real understanding of how to model the energy footprint of buildings and integrate these technologies cost-effectively. Just as importantly, we also understand how to communicate a chosen strategy in the format required by a local council or regional development authority to ensure that it is accepted.
