A Green, Sustainable, Low Energy Building
In 2006, the project was awarded £30,497 from the Nidderdale AONB Sustainable Development Fund to help finance the installation of a ground source heat pump - GSHP, extra insulation and sunpipes. As a condition of the award the AONB required that the experience of installing and operating this type of technology in a community building should be shared with other organisations considering a similar installation. This was to include an interpretive board detailing every aspect of the installation and placed in an appropriate location. With 14 months experience of operating the systems, the board has now been designed and is located on the wall of CCCC at the point of access to the building from the car park

CCCC is pleased to acknowledge the following companies who have kindly sponsored the board:-Hughes Geothermal who drilled the boreholes for the heat exchangers, Invisible Heating Systems who supplied the GSHP, and Michael Basnett, supplier and fitter of the sunpipes
