   EcoPod installed on Eccles towerblock
As part of the £14.3 million regeneration of Barton Village in Eccles, the first EcoPod heating system has been installed on Engels House. The EcoPod Heating System was designed by Belfry Managing Director Keith Rimmer to alleviate fuel poverty in high-rise tower blocks. As well as reducing fuel costs and carbon emissions by more than 40 per cent, it also features an innovative Building Management System (BMS), which automatically alerts landlords when ‘at risk’ tenants fail to adequately heat their properties. Work is expected to be completed on Engels House in February 2012. You can find out the latest news from the project on the Barton Village website. The EcoPod will be installed on the three remaining blocks at Barton Village as well as Craunton, Cremer, Ewood and Kemball Houses in the next phase of the high rise improvement programme at Ladywell Green in Eccles.
