The old office building which has sat empty for about 10 years is nearing completion.  The building stands in the centre of the Ashley Vale area of Bristol and is the final phase of the self build re-development of the SGB site.  The building now comprises six flats and the ground floor is a communty space and workspace.

The building has been fully wrapped up with 120mm of external insulation, all the windows have been changed from old metal single glazed to timber and alu clad double glazing, with window reductions on the north side and south side having balcony additions.

The whole building will have its hot water and heating powered by two 26KWp wood pellet boilers and 27m2 of solar thermal panels on the roof.  There is also 2.4KWp of PV panels filling up the remaining roof space.  Ecomotive has assisted in obtaining over £60,000 of funding towards the cost of the energy systems which is costing £90,000 to supply and fit.
