Solatube impresses visitors
at the SSE Eco Cottage ...
Scottish and Southern Energy is one of
the largest energy companies in the United Kingdom with
operations concerned with electricity, gas and telecommunications.
The company is making significant investment
in microgeneration and energy efficient technologies both
in its own business and as part of its education and provision
of services to customers.
This is clearly evidenced in its promotion
of energy efficiency and renewable energy at its Eco Cottage
located next to its Inveralmond head office in Scotland.
Scottish & Southern Energy wanted
to show visitors how energy efficient products can be successfully
used in existing properties.
The Solatube daylight system in the Eco
Cottage has been fitted, along with a number of other micro
generation and energy efficient technologies, so that visitors
can see how easily they may be retro-fitted and also assess
their benefits first hand.
"We did not envisage that the Eco
Cottage would be as popular as it has been. The Solatube
is one of the most widely commented-on features by visitors
to the facility. They can't believe it's natural light that
is illuminating the room so effectively."
