Environmental

As part of our commitment to operating in the most environmentally benign way as possible the building features:

Insulation far greater than required by legislation
Air Source Heat Pump, that can extract heat from the air even when the outside temperature is as low as minus 15° C
Low energy lighting is used (including LED where appropriate)
Sustainable tourism activities are promoted in our tourism information area in the hall and on the Slaidburn village area of the web site
To help preserve and increase our local Bat population three bat boxes each sufficient to hold over 60 bats have been incorporated into the building.
Discretely fitted roof mounted solar panels put in place in January 2016

We encourage all who hire and visit the hall to consider the environment during their activities and to follow the Forest of Bowland Sustainable Tourism Visitor Charter.
