The studios cooling and heating system uses a closed loop vertical ground water system. This incorporates 30 bore holes each 100m deep and has more than 12km of underground pipework. A heat pump is used to convert cold water from the naturally cooled ground water pipes into heat. This process uses only one third of the energy to heat the building of conventional systems.

All floors have underfloor heating and cooling using a low energy ‘gravivent’ system. The main wooden structure is insulated to a high specification using natural hemp insulation.
