Cambridgeshire Renewable Energy Online Survey Launched
Submitted on March 18, 2009
Renewables East and Cambridgeshire Horizons has launched an online consultation inviting people who live and work in Cambridgeshire to comment on the use of renewable energy in the new communities planned for the area.
73,300 new homes are due to be built in Cambridgeshire between 2001 and 2021, and renewable energy technologies - small and large scale - are due to play an important part in making the county more sustainable and low carbon.
The online consultation, developed by Consense, enables visitors to read about the sustainability targets for the region, learn about a variety of renewable and low carbon technologies and complete a consultation questionnaire giving their opinion on the future role of renewables.
It also features an Interactive Energy Plan, demonstrating how various renewable technologies - including wind power, biomass CCHP and solar PV - could be deployed in a hypothetical community. An Interactive House shows how various low carbon design features, such as passive solar and air tightness; plus a range of renewable technologies can be used for individual households.
