Durham's Seaham Garden Village Implements Ultra-Low Carbon Heating Initiative
GEOTHERMAL
Seaham Garden Village in Durham is developing a mine water district heat network for ultra-low carbon heating using geothermal energy from disused coal mines. Led by Durham County Council, the Mining Remediation Authority, and Karbon Homes, the Energy Centre at Dawdon enhances water temperature for distribution.
Lumsden & Carroll contributed to infrastructure development, including a 1,600-metre spine road. Plans for 211 supported housing apartments have been submitted for council approval.
