Find new uses for old buildings by adapting them to generate renewable energy. Current project: Howsham Mill, North Yorkshire, an 18th century watermill which we are restoring for use as an environmental study/community centre. The waterwheel plus two Archimedean Screw turbines will provide power for the building itself, and an income from electricity sales to support the project in the future.
