ABSTRACT
Use of fuel as an energy resource is only cost effective and efficient if the building in which it is used is constructed to a high standard of insulation to resist heat or cool energy losses through the fabric. There are many construction techniques and procedures that can be used to apply the energy loss reductions through the external envelope. Systems that qualify for government financial incentives such as 'feed-in tariff' are also an important factor. Alternative energy generally regarded as any type of usable energy that does not harm the environment, does not cause a decline in natural resouces and can be used as a replacement for fossil fuels. Renewable energy is effectively free fuel, but remarkably few of the installations the exist in the UK and Other European states, particularly have waste Netherlands, Germany Scandinavian countries, segregation plant and selective burners as standard equipment at many power stations.
