Winchester Science Centre has transitioned to a sustainable heating system by replacing its oil-based heating with air source heat pumps, completing a £700,000 infrastructure upgrade. This marks the most significant sustainability effort in 25 years, with five heat pumps installed in December and operational in January after two years of planning.

The previous oil heating system, in use since 2002, could consume up to 1,000 liters of oil weekly, contributing significantly to carbon emissions. The new system eliminates fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions, aligning with Wonderseekers' mission for environmental sustainability.
