IMG_4408_wooden.jpg Riverside One is a new concept in greenbuild. It adheres to the ten principles of One Planet living, Built by BioRegional Quintain in Middlesbrough, Teeside, UK. It is an exceptinal green building, whose individual housing units will have a low carbon footprint. The whole block is heated by a biofuel boiler. During construction it used recycled oil rig pipes for piling, the concrete was mixed with recycled agregate, super insulated with earth wool, it uses grey recycled water to save water, locally sourced timber, the electricity for the building is sourced from renewable sources and the buidling incorporates Swift bird boxs and bat boxs. Residents are encouraged to car share and use local organic vegetable box schemes.

IMG_1435_air source heat pump.jpg The old Clock Tower Builing at Low Wood near Haverthawaite, Cumbria, UK, has been given a complete make over. It has been renovated to provide office accomodation on a very green scael. Next to the building, 2 huge archimedes screws provide hydro electricity for the building and the grid. Excess heat from the turbines which would be normally lost to the atmosphere is being pumped into the buildings. Also air source heat pumps are used to heat the building, qwhich are housed in the wooden shed in the foreground.
