Sectors -> Environmental

Northcroft is active in the pursuit of cost effective, proven sustainable and environmental design solutions. Through our evaluation tools we can assess the impact of new technologies and encourage the use of energy efficient and low maintenance building solutions such as ground source heat pumps or high efficiency lighting.
Northcroft believe that the assessment of best value should go beyond the capital cost, which only considers current market costs to a life cycle approach, which can fully evaluate capital cost and energy consumption.
Northcroft does not take its environmental responsibilities lightly and our accreditation to ISO 14001 International Standard for Environmental Management Systems underlines our commitment to not only manage our own company environmentally but also influence the impact of others and this ethos affects everything we do.
Discerning clients can look to Northcroft for sound commercial advice and option appraisal for all environmentally sustainable alternatives with confidence.

Renewable technology Systems

We have a proven track record in assisting clients to both prepare business cases for the installation of renewable energies and in the project management of the systems.

We our recent schemes are listed below, the key to the sustainability of any particular scheme lies in the economics of the scheme. Renewable technologies are little different and unless the project is entirely altruistic then the client will be looking for an economic case for the investment.

Our tools in this lie in the vast experience we have gained, particularly in the CHP market where we have installed a number of significant scheme in recent years and have demonstrated the business case for a number of others.

We are currently heavily involved with a new building in the city of Oxford where we have demonstrated the overall impact on the complete project budget of the application of the full range of energy saving measures available to the client, including Biomass, PV, Solar Ground source heat pumps and an overall increase in the level of insulation applied to the structure of the building. This comprehensive study of the technology and the impact on energy use was used by the client to justify the additional funding over the life of the building.
