FernGreen Energy-Efficiency-Design

“Energy- efficiency is the minimum amount of energy needed to heat and cool the inside of a building with also helping to make it healthy for the occupance. This includes all living conditions, and lighting.

The ideal Energy-Efficient Home keeps the best temperature within the home while minimizing the cost of energy. ATFH Ltd Building Contractors based in Ferns, Co. Wexford will build you your home or you can avail of all the energy saving products at our office and showroom in Ferngreen renewable Energy Centre, Ferns, Co. Wexford.

Despite a lower expenditure of energy than less efficient houses / structures, Homes or buildings that use energy-efficiency act as a well run machine in which the equipment produces as much, if not more, energy capacity than is needed to operate the ideal comfort zone.
 

Thermal package is probably the most important aspect of energy efficiency houses / buildings. “The internal heating and lighting (energy efficient bulbs) can only be as efficient as the building it is put into, size of the structure verses the amount of energy needed to condition the space for living.

The more you know about energy efficiency in homes the the more money you will save and contributes to the helping the environment. when considering into buying a home, you must account for more than just the price of the home. Consumers must begin to take into account the energy operating costs of the homes they are buying.

The time to replace equipment to maximise energy efficiency where the replacement of old equipment pays for the new equipment by the energy savings made between the new and old units. As the cost of energy increases this payback time will most likely shorten but be offset by equipment price and cost of living increases. This is a hard equation to determine with no formulation to date, since some people wish not to operate under anything but the very best, top of the line equipment while others want to get all they can out of old equipment.


Alternative energy sources such as geo thermal, wind power, or Solar Energy or what ever energy source is cheapest and least labor intensive to operate can also be used in energy efficiency. Each time equipment is changed over the cost for the replacement needs to be added together with the cost of the Energy and environment,as equipment is also a real cost.It is best to wait until the equipment needs to be replaced,when its energy efficiency is deteriarating or is at the end of its lifetime expectancy.

 Why Energy-Efficiency-Design

The cost of heating and lighting this home at the C1 rating, i.e. old standard building regulations, would have been approximately €3,630 per annum. The cost of running this home with the A3 rating after the Ferngreen Low Energy Design Specification will be approximately €1,452 per year. This represents a saving of €2,178 or 60% every year!

Before Alterations €	After Alterations €	Saving €	Saving %
€3,630	€1,452	€2,178	60%

Conservatively assuming that the cost of heating and lighting the house will increase by 3% per annum this will represent a saving of €104,544 over the lifetime of an average mortgage. The CO2 emissions will also be reduced by two thirds of the original rate.

 

Note that these figures are based on current energy prices and do not take into consideration the very low CO2 emissions from the Ferngren Low Energy Design Specification, which will mean a greater saving on tax if and when a "Carbon Tax" is introduced on properties.
