Congratulations to EDF Energy Training Centre – Cannington, Somerset, winner of Heritage Project of the Year.

The EDF Energy Training Centre is a new training facility built to inspire innovation, creativity and interaction for all EDF Energy staff, business and education partners. The project involved the sensitive refurbishment of the historic site, including the Grade I listed Cannington Court dating from 1138, together with landscaping and car parking within the Cannington Conservation area. The site generates up to 50% of its energy requirements through site based ground-sourced heat pumps, radiant solar panels and solar voltaic panels.
