AKA’s Renewable Energy Services complement the practice’s low energy design ethos and commitment to sustainable architecture. AKA can offer advice on the range of options available and pinpoint the most appropriate renewable energy technology for a particular site or design, whilst also taking into consideration any economic, social or environmental implications. Energy efficient building design can make a significant contribution towards solving global environmental problems.

Designs can include the specification of renewable energy technologies such as:
• solar thermal and photovoltaic systems
• wind and hydro turbines
• borehole systems
• rainwater harvesting
• reed bed sewage processing
• wood burning stoves
• ground source heat pumps
• biomass
