Going green, making life as eco-friendly as possible; of course there are simple steps and tricks to adapt every home and garden. Surely the biggest change to come will be that of energy – where will it come from? Solar panels? Biomass?
A great place to practically see renewable energy in a working environment is its use in contemporary sustainable housing. Modern eco-architects love nothing more than passive buildings i.e. zero carbon footprint, no energy input our damaging output. Indeed that case is fairly rare even now, but in the struggle to go 100% green those very designers are creating fantastic garden buildings that give a fabulous little insight into the future of eco-living.
But while it’s great to read the words “eco-friendly biomass water heater” who actually understand the workings behind them?
Smog and greenhouse gases are caused by the burning of fossil fuels which causes the production of harmful chemicals like COv(2) to be, in turn, released into the atmosphere.
Whilst biomass is technically a fuel, the rate at which COv(2) is released into the atmosphere during incineration is proportional to that removed from the atmosphere by new plant growth (plants which will be used as future biomass fuel), making biomass a zero carbon renewable energy source.
The most prevalent application of biomass in the home is for water heating. Biomass boilers are already a prevalent facet of eco-designed garden buildings, and their place in the modern home could encourage savings of around £450 annually.
The current immaturity of the UK biomass fuel market is a key consideration, however future eco-living will rely heavily on such renewable sources, making the use of fossil fuels in the home an obsolete practice. Although part of a burgeoning market, the technology and environmental applications of biomass fuel are mushrooming wonderfully year after year, ensuring its place in the future of contemporary eco-home design.
