Integrated Greenhouse Project - Phase I

Our heating journey from fossil fuel to biofuel The first public indoor garden / zoo to convert to biomass heating

Wood-chip Heating CO2 emissions per unit of energy supplied Grams of CO2 per kWh Woodfuelled heat Wind power Solar PV m-si Solar PV p-Si Natural gas heating Light fuel oil heating

A place to explore and connect Sustainable timber structure and recycled materials Passive ventilation and solar design Solar PV helps power the building Green energy and building exhibits Prototype I The Human Impact Building

Integrated Greenhouse Project - Phase II

Prototype II The Green Greenhouse ‘Closed’ greenhouse design – storing excess summer heat for winter re-use across our site. This is of major interest to commercial growers in Europe. Final design options are currently being evaluated Construction due to begin Sept 2007 £5 million budget (only £0.5 million still to be raised)
