The immediate plan is to heat the hall with a split-log boiler the logs for which we will source locally. The main problem with coppiced material is that it has a high moisture content which would require an extra (drying) stage. In the long term we hope to use a variety of materials, including coppiced wood to provide heat/energy. Hope that this has answered your questions. Hello and thank you for your comment.

This will be stored in the form of hot water and released into the underfloor heating system. Eventually this system may be replaced by a CHP boiler system creating electricity and heat and running on pellets. Thanks for your interest Ranger Mike Hi,

I guess you're ideally placed to use woodchip or coppiced fuels? Best wishes, Al Hello,

There is some multifoil in one image, was anything else used as well? You are correct that there is multifoil insulation but above this is about 200mm of Ecowool recycled plastic. Outside the rammed earth wall is a void then 150mm of steicowool insulation - recycled wood waste. Under the limecrete base is 300mm of jablock.
