Energy Bus visits
The Energy Bus is a purpose built 8-metre 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 carrying out this role around the county has been designed to run on biodiesel. It has demonstration equipment on board, including renewable energy devices, low energy lighting, insulation samples together with information leaflets.
On-board the bus there is a scaled down working solar thermal panel, a photovoltaic panel and a small 300W wind turbine. There is also a variety of insulation samples to look at such as sheep’s wool and recycled paper fibre, and a low energy lighting demonstration unit.
The Energy Bus is shared by all Norfolk district councils to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. If you are having an event and would like the Energy Bus to attend then contact the Energy Team to see whether it is available.
