With renewable energy technology at a record high, it is optimistic to say that that reviewed building regulations will create reduced energy bills in the future.
The Welsh government says that weekly energy bills can be as low as $7.50 a week next year if changes are made to the current regulations.
This includes additional insulation materials in the walls and ceilings, heat pumps and thermal solar water heaters, and more importantly solar panels.
Builders are forcasting a further $15,000 to $20,000 increase in the cost of building a new home however the Welsh government are predicting only a $7,000 increase. And with the technology and demand on a strong increase, the cost to be more sustainable has never been more affordable.
I developed an interest in the Australian energy and construction sectors more than a decade ago and have since closely followed the trends, technologies and developments shaping both industries. My involvement in the Australian solar market began in 2008, and over the years I have built strong connections with professionals, businesses and organisations across the construction, solar and renewable energy sectors in Australia and internationally. These connections include solar panel and inverter manufacturers, electrical and construction industry professionals, software developers creating tools to quote, monitor and manage solar power systems, and media organisations that closely follow developments across energy, construction and renewable technologies. Today, I continue to contribute as an industry advocate, author and commentator, sharing practical insights and information to help Australian consumers and businesses better understand solar power, energy technologies, construction-related developments and the changing Australian energy landscape.
