What does HEB stand for?

It is the City's first residential building with wind turbine generators (ten 1-killowat turbines) mounted on the parapet to generate electricity for the building, and meets NYSERDA's requirements for ENERGY STAR multifamily buildings and will include ENERGY STAR appliance lighting fixtures, high efficiency boilers and energy efficient fiberglass windows.

Possible candidates for funding include solar photovoltaic installations; other clean energy technologies such as combined heat and power, biomass thermal, solar thermal, and geothermal; thermal efficiency measures in oil- or propane-heated buildings such as new high efficiency boilers and furnaces or improved efficiency in existing ones, replacement or improvement of heat delivery systems, and increased insulation or window replacement; and reduction ( buy-down ) of the total cost of efficiency measures identified by energy performance contractors.

Internal wall dry lining -Euro 2,500 Wall- External wall insulation -Euro 4,000 Heating Controls- High efficiency boiler with Heat control upgrade -Euro 700 Heating controls upgrade- - Euro 500 BER assessment- before and after -Euro 200     It is clear these have to be addressed primarily if you are desirous of an energy efficient home

And, by introducing measures like internal wall insulation, a high efficiency boiler, draught stripping and solar water heater, many could save 60 per cent of their energy.

More than 18,000 properties will benefit from upgraded heating installations using high efficiency boilers together with the installation of double glazed replacement windows.

Energy conservation measures include advanced energy monitoring features, high efficiency boilers and heating systems, low flush sanitary ware and automatic, aerated taps which use less water.

Clr Bower said people approaching the planning department should also be given advice on energy-saving measures such as insulation, low energy light bulbs and high efficiency boilers.

The Apthorp's residences, community spaces and private interior courtyard garden are now being meticulously restored as well as being retrofitted with 21st century amenities such as central air conditioning and high efficiency boilers.
