Waddesdon Manor to Install Ground Source Heat Pump System
Waddesdon Manor, a National Trust property managed by the Rothschild Foundation, will replace its 25-year-old gas heating system with a low-carbon ground source heat pump (GSHP). The current system burns nearly one million kWh of gas annually across seven boilers and three hot water cylinders. The partnership between the National Trust and Rothschild Foundation underscores their commitment to addressing the climate crisis while preserving UK heritage. Sustainability and environment are now central to the Rothschild Foundation's strategy, alongside art and community.
