| Exemplar Green Building - the new Greenshop eco-build is now complete and the official opening by Jonathon Porritt will be in April 2008. The building is timber framed and super insulated, naturally ventilated and heated by solar and log boiler via underfloor heating. |
| Rainwater Harvesting |
|
Rainharvesting Systems is one of the Greenshop Group of companies. Water collection tanks are installed below ground and rainwater collected from the north facing roof. It is filtered to remove debris before going into the tanks and then pumped to toilets for flushing. This significantly reduces the volume of mains water consumed by the building.
