Local energy

Distributed generation of heat and power

Janet Wood; 2008

In future the UK's energy supplies will come from more diverse sources than at present. This will mean local energy projects serving a local community or even a single house. The book examines the technologies, scale and efficiency of potential sources and the way these can be harnessed at a local level.
