London councils force developers to retrofit green technology.

The article reports on the introduction of Energence, a monitoring system developed by Adrian Hewitt that will compel developers to retrofit green technology in London, England. The system will make developers retrofit green power generating capacity onto their buildings in the event they do not meet the agreed sustainability targets. Barking and Dagenham and Merton councils put the system into trial as it monitors the amount of renewable electricity produced by micro-renewables.
