Renewable energy is energy that is generated from natural processes that are continuously replenished.
This includes sunlight, geothermal heat, wind, tides, water, and various forms of biomass. This energy cannot be exhausted and is constantly renewed.
As technology advances, so do the options available to homeowners to make their homes more energy efficient.
Renewable energy, such as air source heat pumps (ASHP), ground source heat pumps (GSHP), solar panels/ photovoltaics (PV) and thermal stores are all low carbon options that homeowners may feel would benefit their properties.
A useful guide on energy efficiency upgrades for Cambridgeshire residents is also available to read on Cambridgeshire County Council's website.
Further ideas and advice is available on the government Energy Efficient Home website and also the TrustMark website.
