The amount of support a landowner will receive is up for review from April 2013 – and early indicators suggest a likely decline in the value of return. The government has promised a review of the efficiency of the Feed-in Tariff, rebalancing the payments in favour of ‘more cost-effective carbon abatement technologies’, leading to a need for landowners to ensure their sites are operational by this date in order to reap the greatest return on investment.

Freedor swings into action
According to Fireco, its Freedor is the new, ergonomic solution for holding fire doors open safely and legally while enabling improved access. It is a wireless device that is installed at the top of a fire door, allowing the door to swing freely, to be left in any position, but closing the door when the fire alarm sounds. It listens for a fire alarm that exceeds 65dBA, verifying the alarm over a 14 second period, before releasing the fire door to prevent the spread of fire and smoke around the building.
