    i am in the planning stage of building a new house and would like to know all the options open to me in reference to the renewables contribution of the building regs.

    I am aware of solar, pellet and gasification boilers for heating water. What else is available?

    I am going to the ploughing match next week and would like to get as much information as i could when i am there.
