They are designed to lower increasingly expensive energy costs and move you towards a sustainable future. Business energy assessments are extremely important and, for some companies, a legal requirement. Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) will tell you how energy efficient your home or business premises is: its level of carbon emissions and also how expensive it is to heat and light. EPCs are useful to identify ways in which to improve energy efficiency and how to save money on energy bills.

In order to determine the size of the battery you require, comes down to understanding your energy needs. Daily Consumption The best place to start is by looking at your energy bill. Specifically your looking for your average daily kWh usage. This will give you a good idea of how much energy you ate typically consuming. It's a key metric to determining the size of the battery that you will need. Peak Energy Demand Once you've determined your average typical daily usage, we need to take into account how you use your energy. At different times of the day and at different times of the year we use our energy differently. In the evening we tend to have higher usage, people are at home rather than out at work. This results in a higher demand, including lights, TV's and other appliances as well as Heating. The size of the battery must be capable of handling these peak demand periods. Power Outage Backup Do you want the battery to keep things powered when a power outage occurs. What appliances and systems do you want to power from the battery, Typically this might be refrigerators, lights and heating. You need to calculate the energy requirements of those appliances and systems. Future Requirements Finally don't forget to take into account what might change in the future. Do you have plans to increase the number of appliances, to add an EV Charger or Expanding the number of Solar Panels that you have. You need to take these factors into account when determining the size of your battery. The easiest thing to do is get in contact with Landsmart and ask us to conduct a Free Energy Assessment .

Renewable energy generation mainly relies on naturally-occurring factors – hydroelectric power is dependent on seasonal river flows, solar power on the amount of daylight, wind power on the consistency of the wind – meaning that the amounts being generated will be intermittent. Similarly, the demand for energy isn’t constant either, as people generally tend to use different amounts of energy at different times of the day and the year. So, when the amount of renewable energy being generated is greater than what’s needed, it makes sense to store that excess energy so it can be used at a time when the demand exceeds the generation.

A ground-source heat pump system harnesses natural heat from underground by pumping liquid through it in pipes. The heat pump then increases the temperature and the heat is used to provide heating or hot water. It performs the same role as a furnace or boiler in a central heating system but uses ambient heat from the ground rather than burning fuel to generate heat. Ground-source heat pump systems are made up of a ground loop (a network of water pipes buried underground; the larger your home and heating needs, the larger the loop) and a heat pump at ground level. A mixture of water and anti-freeze is pumped around the ground loop and absorbs the naturally occurring heat stored in the ground. The water mixture is compressed and goes through a heat exchanger, which extracts the heat and transfers it to the heat pump. The heat is then transferred to your home heating system. This heat can then be used in radiators, for hot water or in an underfloor heating system.

An air-source heat pump takes heat from the air and boosts it to a higher temperature. There are two main types of air-source heat pumps; air-to-water and air-to-air. Air-to-water heat pumps take heat from the outside air and feed it into your wet central heating system (similar to existing gas central heating). As the heat produced is cooler than that from a conventional furnace or boiler, you may need to install larger radiators or underfloor heating in your home to make the most of it. Air-to-water heat pumps may be best suited to new-build properties or those that are energy efficient. Air-to-air heat pumps take heat from the outside air and feed it into your home through fans. This type of system can be used for heating but can’t produce hot water.
