An exciting new commercial concept in East Sussex

 

Sustainability - The Sussex Exchange

The Exchange (cgi)

The Sussex Exchange conference and meeting venue will be a focal point for sharing the latest thinking in the environmental technology field across the Enviro21 network.

We are inviting contact from companies interested in operating this facility.

The building itself will act as a showcase of environmental technologies - a place where you can see rain water harvesting and a biomass boiler system in action.

The restaurant within The Sussex Exchange, as well as serving locally produced food, will have a sustainably designed kitchen. This will include induction cooking systems, a de-watering system to minimise food waste and special enzyme-based degreasers to replace traditional manual grease traps.

The building has a mixed mode ventilation system but in general, natural ventilation will maintain comfortable temperature levels. The meeting and exhibition spaces have opening windows and wind cowls which promote circulation of cool fresh air and remove warm stale air.  

Heating will be provided from a biomass boiler with the environmental benefits of a central wood burning system, using wood pellets or chips.

Rainwater will be collected for use in toilet flushing.

The Sussex Exchange will feature green roofs with wildflower planting, to encourage bio-diversity and to help modulate internal temperatures.
