This project started in 2021 and will install a combination of carbon reduction and renewable energy technologies across the Craven District Council property portfolio.
This includes online energy monitoring, insulation, approximately 1800m2 solar panels, large ground source heat pumps, heat recovery and public displays of carbon emissions in our buildings.
We will also be partnering with Yorkshire Housing to reduce carbon emissions and fuel bills in a number of properties in the Greatwood and Horse Close Estate.
The project forms part of Craven District Council’s commitment to zero carbon emissions by 2030 and will give significant reductions in carbon emissions in the seven public buildings in Skipton including Craven Leisure, Skipton Town Hall, Aireview House, Waltonwrays Crematorium, Belle Vue Square and the new Waste Management depot at Engine Shed Lane.
