capability for times when renewable energy generation does not cover factory energy requirements (ie, there is no wind or sunlight).
Even the structure itself has been created with sustainability in mind and will incorporate the latest design of modular steel frame building.
Sustainability Initiatives at Greencroft Two
Lanchester Group is working to incorporate a number of leading edge technologies designed to minimise its impact on the environment and start conversations about how businesses can pioneer changes within their organisations.
Sustainable Heat Generation Greencroft Two will incorporate a sparkling wine capability. During this process the wine needs to be chilled – using a heat pump process we intend to take heat from the cooling of this wine to provide heat for the building. This has never been attempted before we will be the first business to pioneer this approach
Powered by Renewable Energy Our facility will be powered by our wind turbines which feed directly into our on-site substations, with excess
sold back to the National Grid – usually wind turbines feed into the grid and businesses ‘buy back’ power.
Install approximately 1,000,000 MW of solar panels on the south facing roof which will generate 850,000 kWh per year
Together, these are sufficient to power our facility. This will be the first facility of this size not beholden to the National Grid
Energy Storage We are working with battery manufactures to install an energy storage capability for times when renewable energy generation does not cover factory energy requirements (ie, days with no wind). We will be the first business to pioneer this approach
The Build We will be incorporating the latest design of modular steel frame building which varies the sections of the steel frame, putting strength only where it is needed. This highly efficient method of construction minimises steel requirements and is therefore more environmentally friendly
Visitor Centre Our new facility will allow visitors to see the energy management systems and the factory operation while not impacting it in any way. We hope to achieve this with glass viewing platforms, glass corridors and glass plant room walls where appropriate.
