Ryton Village Hall

Our Green Credentials

• Many new technologies have been incorporated in to the building to reduce its carbon footprint both at the time of the build and with ongoing running costs.
• An air source heat pump coupled with solar thermal roof panels provides all the under floor space heating and hot water.
• Low voltage lighting throughout with timed sensors in the toilets and storage cupboards reduce the chance of wastage.
• Sensors on the taps in the Ladies and Gents toilets also ensure that water is conserved.
• Two sun tubes have been installed in the foyer passageway which removes the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours.
• Recycled newspaper insulation has been incorporated in to both the walls and roof cavity.
• During the build process local contractors and local materials were used whenever possible in an attempt to keep the trade in our area and lower the carbon output on deliveries.
