Risby Village Hall Green Aspirations
Risby Village Hall aspires to think about the impact on the environment and how we can minimise or mitigate our actions.
Risby Village Hall Voluntary Trust: Environmental Policy
Our aim is for Risby Village Hall and its grounds to become carbon neutral by 2030. In 2019 we planned to do this as follows:
Green energy
Switching our utility energy supplier to one providing 100% green energy (2020)
Environmentally friendly
All products used at the Hall will be from environmentally friendly brands (2020 onwards)
Heating
Reducing our reliance on oil heating by switching to electric heaters (2020)
Insulation
Improving insulation of walls and roofs (2020)
Tree Planting
Planting and maintaining trees and shrubs along our boundaries (2020-2030)
Solar energy
Installing solar panels on the small and large hall roofs (2021-22)
Energy storage
Installing battery storage systems to complement our PV solar panels (2021-22)
Recycling
Expanding our current recycling depot from glass, paper and ink cartridges to include books, batteries, shoes and clothing (2022-23)
Energy saving
Upgrading kitchen and other electrical appliances with more energy efficient systems (2020-30)
Electric car charging
Introduce electric car charging points (2023-24)
Windows glazing
Replacing doors and windows with triple glazed fittings (2024-26)
Cycling
Introducing a secure bicycle parking station (2025)
Public Transport
Encouraging and promoting car sharing for users of our facilities and promoting improved access to the Hall by public transport (2020-2030)
Air heat pumps
Installing an underfloor air heat pump exchange system to augment the electric heating system (2028)
Parking restrictions
Banning access to non-essential vehicles powered by internal combustion engines from accessing our grounds (2030)
Since then we have delivered, or are well on the way to achieving, all the above within the time frames stated.
