Sustainability

Sustainability is something the community has long taken to heart, to preserve God's creation in all its glory.

We want a new monastery which will consume very little energy. With this in mind the following sustainable elements were built into the design

• wood chip boiler
• solar panels (to boost hot water)
• rain water harvesting tank
• solar shading
• sedum roofs
• natural materials
• excellent thermal insulation
• low energy light fittings
• new ‘A’ rated appliances
• 'passive’ main drainage
