Reducing the energy consumption of housing in the UK is a vital part of delivering the Carbon 60 objective. The Government aims to reduce energy consumption from the built environment through measures including ever-more stringent application of the Building Regulations in conjunction with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and a combination of fiscal measures (taxes and incentives). In addition, information (through the Energy Saving Trust and the Carbon Trust), highlights the fact that 31% of primary energy supplied to the UK is consumed by housing (Source - UK Energy Sector Indicators 2004, DTi http://www.dti.gov.uk/energy/index.html)  

Taylor Wimpey’s Macintosh Village development in Manchester plans to use Viessmann solar water-heating panels and five Vitodens 200 condensing boilers. Solar thermal collectors are a well established technology, and for typical dwellings, this equates to 5 to 8% saving in carbon emissions. Over a year, it is estimated that 35 to 40% of hot-water requirements for this development will be met by solar energy. The rotational telehandler that is on hire on this site, is one of the latest models from Dieci, and therefore has the latest measures to ensure that it is as environmentally friendly as possible.
