Renewables
A Modern Method of Construction (MMC) such as PolySteel provides a fantastic thermal envelope for
the fabric of the building, keeping heat loss to the very minimum. With minimal heat loss less energy has to
be brought in or produced (renewables) to replace that which has been lost.
PolySteel can be perfectly partnered with renewable energy sources such as Photo Voltaic (PV) Panels
producing electricity and Solar Panels heating water, amongst other renewables.
The relatively small amount of heat loss through the walls of a PolySteel home ensure that the small
contributions made my these renewable energy sources really can make a difference now, in these times of
higher energy costs and lower supply and installation costs of a range of renewable energy systems.
These factors together with recent advances in technology make renewable energy sources a more attractive
proposition than ever before.
Even ten years ago the fabric of a home lost so much heat compared to a super
efficient PolySteel home that the small contribution made by either Photo Voltaic (PV)
panels producing electricity and Solar panels producing heating for water made them less than
attractive than today.
With today’s relatively small amount of heat loss through the walls of a PolySteel home, the combination
of higher bought in energy cost, cheaper supply and install renewable systems and more efficient systems
available due to advances in technology makes renewables a much more attractive proposition.
