Episode 3: The Ultimate Eco Church
Episode three of Derelict Rescue takes us to the picturesque village of Wark in Northumberland, where Alan and Anne James are on a mission to convert a 19th Century Church into a 21st century Passivhaus– the gold standard in sustainable living.
They’ve given themselves just sixty weeks to turn a cold, draughty church that leaks heat into a luxury holiday let, that will be so well insulated it will require little or no heating.
It’s a hugely ambitious project. But if they succeed, this will be the first time in the world a former church has been converted into a home which meets the rigorous Passivhaus standard.
