Site visit: Creative Energy Solutions in a Creative Space

Somerset Film’s Engine Room/Café is an accessible community media centre and Somerset Film's base in Bridgwater. They have a mix of facilities:  a venue, room hire, multi-media studio space, flexible working and alongside a popular town centre café. Join us on this site visit to find out how they’ve approached retrofit in a multi-purpose building, ask questions and get ideas. And coffee!

This is a not to be missed opportunity if you want to: 

• See the improvements made by installing air source heat pumps and solar panels
  
• Find out more about carbon impact reporting in the arts sector
• Understand your "sphere of influence" amongst your audiences/user groups/beneficiaries.

Deb Richardson, Creative Director at Somerset Film tells us "We recently undertook a focussed look at the carbon footprint of our outreach projects. It revealed that our biggest area of potential influence/change is audience/participants. We’d be interested in find out what more we can do with limited capacity."
