greentomatoenergy provides advice on how to make your build more energy efficient

It may not be glamourous, but at greentomatoenergy we believe in applying the laws of physics to low energy building. In order to mitigate against the risks of low energy building (primarily performance, cost and fabric), our team of engineers will apply real science to your project. This will give you the confidence that the work you are doing will deliver lasting results.

We are an independent consultancy that will propose the most appropriate solutions, helping you to avoid the minefield of technology-specific salespeople.

Our services

We provide three types of consultancy:

  • Full Energy Design
  • Energy Survey
  • Bespoke Energy Advice

We work with builders, architects, designers and self-builders to ensure that the most practical, affordable and efficient renewable and energy-saving measures are selected for each project. We will provide support through each step of the build process.

Green Deal

The government recently released the Green Deal consultancy. Our briefing note can be found here. For all the details, visit the DECC website.

Flying is ok because aviation only produces a few percent of global CO2 emissions.


Truth: Globally, it is true that aviation does not produce more than a few percent of CO2. However if you take a single intercontinental flight every year, this is likely to dominate your own personal CO2 emissions.
More importantly, emitting the gas high up in the atmosphere means that the global warming effect of every tonne of CO2 emitted by a plane is 2-4 times worse than that of the same tonne emitted on the ground!
Another problem is the speed of growth of the aviation industry: between 1990 and 2001, UK passenger numbers increased by 73%. Over the same period, average fuel consumption per passenger per kilometre travelled actually increased by 12%!  In 2008, aviation was responsible for 23% of transport fuel use in the UK.
