energy bus
The Energy Bus is a purpose built 27-foot long information bus designed specifically for shows and events to act as a focal point for energy conservation promotion.
The bus, which can be seen around the county promoting energy efficiency, has been designed to run on biodiesel. It has demonstration equipment on board, including renewable energy devices, low energy lighting, insulation samples and information leaflets.
Onboard the bus there is a scaled down working solar thermal panel, a photovoltaic panel and a small 300W wind turbine. There are also a variety of insulation samples to look at such as sheep’s wool and recycled paper fibre, and a low energy lighting demo unit.
