Hatfield Peverel - Eco Store

The store has a living roof of sedum, which provides a green space to help oxygenate urban areas, as well as absorbing carbon dioxide emissions and helping to limit rainfall discharge.  It is also low maintenance, helps to insulate the flats above the store, and provides a natural habitat for insects and wildlife which changes colour with the seasons.

Other eco-friendly measures at the store include including the highest specification of insulation, energy efficient lighting, and refrigeration with heat recovery. A sun pipe brings natural light into the store’s office, and the flats above have solar panels to provide hot water.
