A Hall new world as firm steps out
A HULL construction firm has expanded and created a dedicated renewables division.
With the launch of the new department, Hall Construction Group will focus on developing its existing work in renewables, which ranges from heat pump and biomass projects to construction of infrastructure for onshore wind farms.

EXPERTISE: From left, Dean Hordon, Richard Weeks and Steve Ward, of Hall Construction.
It will also explore opportunities arising from the Government's Green Deal and the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), which are designed to help householders and businesses increase the energy efficiency of their properties across the UK and recoup installation costs.
A team has been carefully selected with extensive expertise and practical experience in this exciting new sector to run the new division.

Renewables manager Steve Ward, who has specialised in renewables for the past nine years, said: "Part of our role is to raise awareness of the group's existing renewables capabilities.
"The creation of this department strengthens the group by incorporating people who have the experience that is needed in the different areas of renewables activity."
The company, which has a 125-year trading history, is currently undertaking the installation of air-source heat pumps for 50 homes owned by East Riding Council and is positioned to enhance this turnover with Green Deal and other, low carbon-based initiatives.
The team's sales manager, Richard Weeks, who will also be joined by assistant renewables manager Dean Hordon, said that about a third of houses in the East Riding area do not have gas.
He said: "The options of oil, solid fuel, LPG and conventional electric heating are all expensive and have a large carbon footprint.
"As a solution, we offer air and ground source heat pumps, biomass, solar thermal, dynamic energy panels and a range of building fabric improvements.
"To complement the construction knowledge we have qualified energy assessors and can advise on full energy saving solutions, including funding, which will guarantee the client saves money from the outset."
Mr Weeks said the business is also involved in a large Passivhaus scheme (a building standard that greatly reduces demand on energy needs within homes) which, according to the firm, represents the ultimate in low energy construction.
Mr Weeks said: "Because energy is becoming more expensive, Government funding such as the RHI is attractive and all sorts of people are realising the benefits of renewables."
Previous renewables projects completed by the Hall Group include the £4.3m zero-carbon Moorgate Crofts Business Centre in Rotherham and the construction of sub-stations and roadways for onshore wind farms in East Yorkshire and Cumbria.

“In response to the previous comment, on behalf of Hall Renewables, I would just like to balance any misleading views this comment may have given attention to. Heat pump technology is promoted by Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) as a low carbon technology and the UK Govt is not likely to promote a "Scam". Heat pumps are not designed as an alternative to main stream gas heating. They are a low carbon, highly efficient technology particularly suitable in off gas grid situations. All our installations (and designs) are regulated by REAL, MCS and PAS2030 (The Green Deal regulations) as well as our ISO 9001 Quality Management System. This process guarantees we only specify and install heat pumps where there is a demonstrable significant increase in efficiency. We are using heat pump technology that operates with a ratio of 4:1.”

“The GrimsbyTelegraph is the only paper I read that talks incessantly of renewable energy. It is about time that they came to the realisation that most of it is a scam.Heat pumps are not renewable energy. They may or may not allow you to get electrical heating more efficiently than resistance heating Their problem is a very large installation cost, & for for large air moving fans. The best Coefficient Of Performance you can get is 3 to1 ideally Probably 2 to 1 is more realistic.So you might get eleectrical heating for half the cost of resistance heating. Then how does it compare with gas heating. Gas is generally a lot cheaper So is the equipment invoved. I think heat pumps are best left alone.”
