GLENCANISP LODGE RE-DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Glencanisp Lodge in the North-West Highlands has recently undergone re-development as part of the Green Energy Development initiative from the Assynt Foundation.
T
he Assynt Foundation Charity bought 44,000 acres of stunning natural land which encompasses the Glencanisp and Drumrunie Estates. The area includes the mountains Suilven, Canisp, Cul Mor and Cul Beagand and a
wildlife-rich world of lochans, rivers and hills. For the Lodge to increase its use as a sustainable community base and as a centre for arts, educational and training events, serious work had to be done to redevelop the Lodge. Lancashire firm Atlantic Boilers have provided a 90kW light oil R Series year- round condensing boiler as part of the overall aim to improve energy efficiency and heat efficiency. The R Series boiler has been selected as a reliable part-load boiler with a seasonal efficiency in excess of 94% GCV. The boiler will condense at its maximum efficiency even at 82°C flow and 71°C return. The flue gases leave the first heat exchanger at temperatures below
90°C and are then extracted from the second condensing heat exchanger at temperatures always
below 50°C. In Summer 2010,
Glencanisp Lodge will reopen for residential events and activities including arts and crafts retreats, weddings and conferences. Tel: 0161 621 5960

SAVE WATER & ENERGY WITH AN ECO-SAVE SHOWER
C
ontour’s Eco-save energy and water saving mixer shower is the only thermostatic, pressure
balancing, sustainable mixer shower on the market and has been designed to be the safest, anti-scald, value for money mixer shower available. Eco-save has undergone and passed rigorous WRAS approval and as such meets all government water bylaws. NHS, DO8 & TMV3 approved, the smart design of this mixer compensates for fluctuation in incoming hot and cold water temperatures and/or pressure to stabilize the shower temperature, even if a tap is turned on in another room. Eco-save has built in scald protection. If the cold water pressure fails, the thermostat will react and close the water flow entirely within 0.2 seconds to prevent any possibility of scalding. Wing shaped, easy to grasp controls allow for easy temperature selection for those with restricted hand use and an anti-tamper setting of 38° prevents the selection of unsafe temperatures.
With sustainability in mind, Eco-save 36| SUSTAINABLE FM | JUNE 2010
has a 10 year temperature, stability and anti-calcification guarantee and, with a no built in obsolescence policy, replacement parts are available for 25 years. By installing an Eco-save you can expect to achieve water and energy savings of up to 70%, reducing your carbon footprint and saving money while still allowing for an enjoyable showering experience. Eco-save is also 98% recyclable, thus minimising any adverse impact on the environment. The use of Eco-save will also help any organisation in achieving ISO14001 accreditation. Enhanced tax relief can be claimed on the cost of Eco-save as, because the product is water and energy efficient, it has been included on the Governments list of products for use on the Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme. The Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme is a key part of the Government’s programme to manage climate change. It provides businesses with enhanced tax relief for investments in equipment that meets published energy-saving criteria. Eco-save is just one small innovation
which compliments Contours range of easy access shower trays, shower enclosures and eco-friendly floor formers designed to enhance the independent lifestyle.
