Ground Source Review: Stakeford Depot & Riverside Centre
Kensa Contracting were appointed to upgrade the heating in the Riverside Centre, an adolescent services office and, Stakeford Depot, a 3,000m2 council depot including offices and workshops. Both facilities were identified as in desperate need of heating upgrades, with the existing heating systems failing and resulting in high running costs, high maintenance costs and poor comfort for the building occupants.
The resulting works are estimated to save the council around £230,000 in running costs and generate over £900,000 through the Non Domestic RHI (this scheme has now closed – please visit this page to explore other funding) over 20 years.
