Stoke Local Centre has been built with many energy saving features including:
- sedum roof to improve thermal performance, oxygen levels and air quality,
- sun pipes to give the library natural daylight,
- solar panels to collect energy used to heat the water,
- rainwater which will be collected from the roof and used in the centre,
- heat pumps which will use the earth’s natural constant temperature to give heating and hot water, and
- wind catchers to help provide fresh air.
Many recycled materials were used to build the centre, including:
- aluminium curtain walling,
- ceiling tiles using a high percentage of recycled material,
- ceramic tiles bought from a local factory,
- the wood for the doors and the timber decking was from a sustainable source, and
- library bookshelving made from 25% recycled metal.
