Minister Ian Pearson meeting Ice Energy's MD Andrew Sheldon and Chairman Ed Bannock
Britain's Environment Minister has been visiting a new village hall in Worcestershire that's totally eco friendly. The Rock Cross community hall is built from reclaimed timber and is insulated using recycled paper. It is heated by Ice Energy ground source heat pumps extracting heat from the ground and uses recycled rainwater to flush toilets. Think of an old village hall and cold and draughty come to mind. The new Rock Cross village hall turns that idea on it's head. Set in a small village in central England it's been built and designed specifically to be totally eco friendly.
The building uses 2 heat pumps to provide all of its heating and water needs. Why 2 heat pumps? The reason being the hall had a total heating need of over 20KW however only single phase electricity was available which meant the larger 3 phase only heat pumps could not be used.
