Renewable Energy Engineering
Once the need for energy has been minimised in the fabric and form design, Gale & Snowden have an in-house renewable energy engineering department with many years experience integrating and designing into buildings renewable energy systems
The service:
- Renewable energy development studies for schemes
- Pre-planning feasibility studies
- Energy modelling assessments for a range of different renewable energy strategies
- Site assessments and managing pre site testing for suitability
- Systems design
- Multi integrated design – linking thermal stores into solar panels, heat pumps and wood burners
- Commissioning and handover
Renewable energy systems:
- Centralised biomass systems – pellet, wood chip and log boilers
- Small scale wood burning stoves systems – sealed combustion, highly efficient with or without back boilers
- Solar hot water panels – flat plate, evacuated tube
- Photovoltaic Panels PV
- Wind turbines
- Hydro and water turbines
- Heat pumps – earth, air, water
Team Experience:
- Woodchip boiler system for Trelowarren Estate and schools in Derbyshire
- Pellet boiler system for estate in Cornwall
- Many projects designing and integrating small scale log burner systems with back boilers. Some have been linked into thermal stores with other energy systems feeding them such as heat pumps and solar panels.
- Log burning boiler system for RHS Rosemoor
- Heat pump systems - 30 borehole hospital scheme, 6 borehole large estate scheme, various horizontal slinky schemes for homes. Micro air source hot water system for large estate
- PV and solar panels on a wide range of schemes, schools, houses, community centres
- Development of zero carbon sports and community centre using PV, heat pumps, solar panels and wind turbine.
