Summary

"This new book provides an overview of all the major current microgeneration options available tor larger buildings, from wind turbines and solar power to biomass and energy stores. It demonstrates the principles of incorporating microgeneration strategies into new builds, allowing architects to make the most efficient and environmentally sound choice for their project at the design stage. It also contains an overview of the installation of these technologies for contractors and engineers." "Microgeneration also examines the new technologies about to enter the general marketplace, to ensure the reader is kept up-to-date with the very latest green building developments in a fast paced industry."--Jacket.
