F.A.Q.
Please see the below frequently asked questions about our secondary measures.
Why are building fabric improvements important for decarbonisation?
These improvements are essential for decarbonisation as they significantly reduce the energy needed for heating and cooling, lowering overall energy consumption and carbon emissions, and contributing to a more sustainable building.
What types of building fabric improvements can be made?
Common fabric improvements include installing or upgrading insulation, replacing or improving windows and doors, sealing gaps to reduce air leakage, and enhancing roof and wall structures for better thermal resistance.
How do fabric improvements reduce energy consumption?
By improving insulation and sealing air leaks, fabric improvements help keep heat inside during winter and outside during summer, minimizing the need for energy-intensive heating and cooling systems, which lowers energy consumption.
How long do building fabric improvements take to complete?
The timeline depends on the scope of the project, the size of the building, and the specific improvements being made. However, many upgrades can be completed relatively quickly, often within a few weeks, with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Can Solar PV systems work in cloudy or rainy weather?
Yes, Solar PV systems can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, although the energy production will be lower compared to bright, sunny days. Solar panels can harness ambient sunlight, even in less-than-ideal conditions.
How do I maintain the Solar PV system?
Solar PV systems require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove debris or dust can help maintain optimal performance. It’s also recommended to have an annual inspection to ensure the system is functioning efficiently and to check for any necessary repairs. We include this service as part of our aftercare service.
How does a smart control system work for heat pumps?
A smart control system allows CO2PEC to remotely monitor and adjust your heat pump settings via a web interface. This enables precise control over heating schedules, optimizing energy use, and improving overall system performance. Some systems also use data analytics to predict and adjust settings based on usage patterns.
What features can be added with a control system upgrade?
Remote Access:
Monitor your system from anywhere using a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Advanced Scheduling:
Set heating schedules based on time, weather, or occupancy patterns.
Energy Usage Reports:
Get detailed insights into your energy consumption, allowing you to make informed decisions about usage and savings.
