Microgeneration equipment and other renewable technologies - General considerations
Microgeneration equipment and renewable technologies can be incorporated into residential extensions and alterations, but suitability must be assessed for the specific project context, potentially with input from building conservation specialists for historic buildings. All necessary permissions and consents must be obtained.
Microgeneration equipment and other renewable technologies offer a sustainable proposition when extending and/or altering a residential property. However, the suitability of specific equipment and technologies requires consideration in the context of the project undertaking. Advice should therefore be sought from appropriately experienced consultants including, where appropriate, those qualified in building conservation for historic buildngs. Care must also be taken to ensure that all necessary permissions and consents (see Section 2.5) are sought for any equipment or technologies used.
