Mr Buchannan
Hugh Buchannan replaced his conventional oil fired heating system with a wood burning system and saves around 11,500 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year.
Ground source heat pumps
Dr Lawn
When Dr Lawn decided to build a three bedroom house he wanted to make it as sustainable as possible, so one of the things he did was install a ground source heat pump.
Solar PV
The RSPB
The RSPB not only installed PV systems at four of their sites but also set up the 'Going Solar' scheme, to help encourage others to invest in PV.
Simon Roberts
Simon Roberts uses the energy generated by the PV system on his roof to power his electric car.
Servite Trust
The Servite Trust wanted to develop an energy valley. They already had a water turbine so installing solar panels seemed an obvious next step.
Rotherhithe YHA
One of London's busy youth hostels are helping to do their bit for the environment by generating electricity using a roof-top PV system.
PV in the Pennines
A couple with a long-standing interest in photovoltaics took advantage of moving to a new home to install a PV system.
Pitsea swimming pool
Basildon district council is committed to sustainable energy and fitting solar PV at the public swimming pool was a great opportunity to expand their commitment.
Pearl and Peter Norman
Spurred on by a desire to do their bit for the environment, the Normans opted for a bolt-on PV system.
Nigel Dodman
Mr Dodman's new property relied on a generator for power so he invested in a solar and wind system, which now supplies most of his energy.
Mr and Mrs Mount
Mr and Mrs Mount relied on a diesel-powered generator because they were not connected to the mains, so installing a solar PV system was a great alternative, which saved them over £500 in fuel costs during the first year.
Martin and Frankie Fry
The Frys had a PV system installed on their four bed home in Berkshire and Mr Fry now uses it for demonstration and education purposes.
First step
When the First step project had their building renovated they wanted it to be as environmentally friendly as possible and solar panels were the ideal accompaniment to solar water heating and a condensing boiler.
Dr John Lunn
Dr Lunn was already benefiting from a solar hot water system and was so impressed with its performance he decided to install an integrated PV system.
David Eldridge
Mr Eldridge wanted his Essex home to be economic, efficient and green so he installed a PV array.
Daniel Pageon
The installation of PV panels on Mr Pageon's roof took just six hours.
Bob Weller
When Mr Weller had a PV system installed at his home he took advantage of the situation and had a solar hot water system put in at the same time.
Solar Thermal (Hot Water Heating)
Mr Oates
Mr Oates had an interest in environmental matters for some years so it was only a matter of time before he installed a renewable energy technology.
Mr Prior
By installing a solar thermal hotwater system Mr Prior saves around 380 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year.
Wind
Mr and Mrs Robertson
Mr and Mrs Robertson bought a cottage that was in need of complete renovation. The house wasn't connected to the grid and decided that a grid connected wind turbine was the best option for them.
Mr Jarvis
Mr Jarvis' home had no connection to the national electricity grid and relied on a diesel generator before he decided to install a wind turbine.
