YMCA Lakeside
Our Director Ben Wells undertook the Energy and Sustainability Statement for the proposed YMCA activity and education centre on Lake Windermere.
This complex site includes two main buildings with bed space, restaurant and ancillary facilities along with a variety of woodland lodges and staff accommodation.
The feasibility of a variety of renewable energy solutions was examined, the majority of which were discounted due to the issues of the site location.
The Local Planning Authority set stringent targets for renewable energy solutions and in the end, Air Source and Ground Source Heat Pumps were put forward as potential options for the achievement of the condition set by the Planners.
