BFRC FAQs
 

Is WER just for the UK?

No similar systems are used around the world; established systems are in place in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Schemes are also being developed for other parts of Europe.

The BFRC window energy scheme is applicable to the UK only due to the constants within the formulae which are based on average UK climate conditions.
