Merton Council has welcomed members from the Spanish Federation of Local Authorities (FEMP) to the borough to share with them the merits of the Merton Rule and the future of monitoring and researching carbon dioxide emissions.
The Merton Rule is the planning policy developed by Merton Council which requires all new buildings to cut CO2 emissions by 10% using renewable energy on site. Merton developed the rule and adopted it in 2003. Its impact was so great that the then Mayor of London and ma... [more]
Wind powered microgeneration is predicted to become common place over the next few years, with turbines being installed on thousands of existing domestic and commercial buildings, as well as being incorporated into many new builds. It has been estimated that by 2050 small scale wind generation could reach 15GW of electricity and account for 6% of the UK's total electricity demand thus reducing the country's CO2 emissions by about 4%.
TUV NEL has been awarded a contract by DIUS (Department for... [more]
