BROMPTON LAKES RECEIVES SECOND MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD
One of our founding principles at Brompton Lakes is that everything should be as eco friendly as possible so it is particularly good news that we have just received one of the UK’s top environmental awards.
We won a silver medal at the recent Green Apple Awards for the Built Environment and Architectural Heritage 2009, which was presented by actress, author and keen environmentalist Kate O’Mara at a special ceremony at Hampton Court Palace in London.
The awards are made annually by the Green Organisation, an independent, non-political, non-profit organisation that recognises, rewards and promotes environmental best practice around the world.
Each year the competition attracts many high quality applications and this year was no exception with over 200 entries. Twenty-two of these were judged in the buildings category with four final award winners.
The Green Apple Award for Brompton Lakes follows close on the heels of a nomination for another major environmental award made by the Yorkshire Post newspaper earlier this year to highlight the best ideas in greener living across the region.
The judges in both competitions have been particularly impressed by the lodges’ many ‘green’ features, including living plant roofs, large solar gain glass panels and – one of the first of its kind in the UK – the innovative geo-thermal heating system which draws energy from the lakes themselves.
Great news for Brompton Lakes and great news for the environment!
