The company's design philosophy is driven by the premise that generators designed for installation in close proximity to people should be both efficient and also quiet and unobtrusive in operation. Eclectic has developed its 'StealthGen' wind generator specifically for roof or wall mounting on domestic and commercial buildings. Each turbine is capable of producing around one-fifth of a typical household's energy needs, and abates over a quarter of a tonne of carbon dioxide annually. Eclectic will be installing a 'StealthGen' wind generator and its innovative, 'easy fit' wall mounting system on one of the demonstration houses at resource05.

Powergen are returning to resource05 after a successful exhibit at last year's event, once again showcasing their WhisperGen Micro-CHP technology and the significant developments in that market over the last 12 months.

Powergen's revolutionary energy-efficient WhisperGen Micro Combined Heat and Power system was the first in the UK. A WhisperGen Micro CHP unit acts likes a normal high-efficiency gas boiler, providing heat and hot water, but ingeniously it also drives a generator to produce electricity generating savings in household energy bills. The electricity generated can be used to power electrical appliances in the home or any excess over the current demand is exported and sold back to Powergen.

It can also reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 1.5 tonnes per year, an average 20% reduction per household, a real contribution towards tackling the effects of global warming. For this reason Micro CHP has been included in the DTI's consultation on Microgeneration and the forthcoming Low Carbon buildings programme, a major focus of the resource05 conference.

TermoDeck is a system that provides comfort conditions in a building by combining a mechanical ventilation system with the thermal mass inherent in hollowcore floor planks to offset the thermal loads generated within a building.

During occupancy, 100% air is delivered through the mechanical ventilation system providing a 'fresh' environment in the building. Nighttime free cooling from outside is used together with high levels of heat recovery to minimise energy use for both summer cooling and winter heating. The whole process is controlled from the bms to ensure optimum operation of the system.
