Renewable Energy Systems at Beaufort Court. The RES group is one of the world’s leading energy developers, with projects ranging from off shore wind power to sustainable buildings. At the Head Office in Kings Langley they are aiming for a zero emissions building.

Electrical energy is generated by the wind turbine and the photovoltaic modules within the solar array. This electricity can be used either within the buildings or when there is an excess generated sold onto green energy uk. .

Heat energy is generated by solar, biomass and natural gas. The generation of solar heat is dictated by the weather. When solar heat is available and there is demand for heat the energy is used to heat the incoming air directly. In the summer the excess heat is stored in the underground heat store. There is also a biomass boiler which utilises miscanthus grass which is being grown on site. The conventional natural gas boilers are used only when the demand for heat is greater than that which can be met by the solar and biomass sources.
