The installation will be located at the back of Hardwick Hall, where visitors can experience the installation showing how this view might look 30 years from now.
Smart Meters and The National Trust
The National Trust have installed smart meters at hundreds of the places we care for, and we’re working to add more. After all, it’s much easier to improve efficiency if you know how much energy you’re using. Smart meters help by measuring how much energy is being used at different times of day, and how much it costs.
They can’t solve climate change on their own, but with the smarter, more efficient energy system they create, they make a good start!
Energy efficiency changes at Hardwick...
At Hardwick in the last 12 months we have installed a new biomass district heating system. The biomass heating system removes our dependency on oil fuel across 11 boilers (tenant cottages, holiday cottages, offices and the Hall), eliminating around 25,000 litres of oil being burned each year. The biomass heating system is fuelled by locally sourced FSC wood pellets.
Energy efficiency changes at Clumber Park...
At Clumber Park, the team have been working hard in various ways to reduce their energy consuption and be more sustainable. From upgrading catering equipment for more energy efficiency models harvesting rain water to flush toilets and water the walled garden to converting 190 hectares of arable farmland to woodland pasture.
