While solar power is the best thing for mother earth and the long term bottom line for energy use it does have its own issues. Legionella bacteria are found in water in the natural environment, but it is only in man-made water systems that the bacteria can exist in numbers high enough to cause disease. Controlling its numbers and spread is key for any solar powered building and it is relatively painless too. Make sure that your system is operating at peak efficiency and run the anti-legionella cycle according to your manufacturers suggestions. It all seems easy but it has to be done to make sure everyone stays safe and your solar heat is not wasted.

Liegonella control in Solar Systems
Saturday, June 13th, 2009Time is right to fix old buildings
Saturday, June 6th, 2009With new legislation about it is the right time to tackle those old buildings and make sure they get up to speed in these eco-friendly and energy savings times. Using the Energy Performance Certificates as a starting point seems like a good idea to get the old buildings caught up to speed. Starting in October older buildings will have to have one of two certificates. The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required on construction, sale or rent of a non-domestic building (regardless of size). While the Display Energy Certificate (DEC) is required under legislation for large public buildings, over 1000 m2 in floor area where there is frequent visitation by members of the public. It looks like all those energy wasters will have to get up to speed quickly.
