Verdo Renewables first delivery of 28 tonnes of wood pellets for the 700kW biomass boiler was delivered last week from Verdo s manufacturing plant in Grangemouth. It is estimated that the boiler at Girvan Community Hospital will require around 1,000 tonnes of wood pellets per year. Alistair McGlynn, UK Sales Manager for Verdo Renewables said, It is a particular pleasure for us at Verdo to secure this preferred supplier appointment for one of the country s most impressive, state of the art, environmentally friendly buildings. We are confident that these Verdo manufactured wood pellets will make a significant contribution to the hospital s twin aims of reducing its carbon footprint and lowering its energy bills. In addition to the biomass boiler which burns wood pellets, other eco-friendly features at Girvan Community Hospital include a wind turbine, use of rainwater to flush toilets, a food waste vacuum system to dry and compost leftover food and low energy lighting. Each of the hospital s main blocks are built with timber frame kits, where all the timber used is from sustainable sources. In addition, only construction materials with at least 10 per cent of recycled materials have been used and this includes insulation from recycled newspaper and concrete blocks from recycled aggregate.
