Our Vision
We aimed to create a beacon for a sustainable future through our development of Worfolk Cottage. The building was renovated to the highest standards of environmentally sound building practice available at the time and subsequent work has maintained and updated this.
All materials were chosen on the basis of;
The main energy-saving and sustainable features are a very high standard of insulation for the roof, walls and floors. A wind turbine, photovoltaic panels, solar water heating panels, a ground source heat pump and a sedum roof.
By providing a beacon of sustainability we want to enhance knowledge and awareness of the link between human activity and the quality of the environment. We expect that users and others will be inspired to take further steps to reduce their 'carbon footprint' and to live with greater sensitivity to the natural world.
