Ipley manor district heating system

chipping demonstration

fund grant £21,218
total project cost £70,725 (30% of total)

The Sustainable Development Fund contributed funding towards the installation of a biomass district heating system on the Ipley Manor Estate.  The system provides space heating and hot water to five dwellings and is fuelled by woodchip produced from the sustainable management of the estate woodlands. A number of workshops and site visits have been held to promote the project as an example of sustainable living and it has been instrumental in encouraging others to move towards the use of biomass energy.
