Joanna, a Swansea born and bred architect, works at an innovation centre researching new building integrated renewable energy technologies, and invested in Gower Regeneration because she likes to know where her money\u2019s going. We caught up with her for a quick chat, here\u2019s what she had to say:<\/strong>
\nI work at Swansea Uni in a Research Centre called Specific. We look at building integrated renewable technologies, hence my interest in solar energy; everything we do is about generating heat and power from solar energy and storing it in the building. My role involves finding suitable buildings to demonstrate some of these technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnergy is becoming more of a problem\u201d<\/strong>
\nEnergy is becoming more of a problem but so are other things: the building materials we use, for example and the way we use them. Our reliance on standard materials and methods has to change.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt keeps money local and we know where our money\u2019s going\u201d<\/strong>
\nI also invested in SCEES \u2013 I like the fact that it keeps money local and we know where our money\u2019s going. Most savings accounts aren\u2019t worth putting anything in, you don\u2019t get much interest. Obviously there are always risks with these things so you have to invest what you\u2019re comfortable with. But more and more these days we have to think about the ethical side of things\u2013 we often don\u2019t know what our money\u2019s being invested in. I like the whole ethos behind this scheme, being able to see the social benefits as well as the financial return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
