A basic description of the project: |
|
The new School will provide places for 77 students with Behavioral Social Emotional Deficit - learning difficulties for students aged from 5 years through to 16 years old, run by a staff amounting to some 50 in number.
Externally and internally the construction and finishes are designed to achieve very good BREEAM standards with excellent thermal, acoustic, and Eco-friendly elements of structure being incorporated in the walls, floors and ceiling construction. |

A basic description of the building |
|
Biomass to provide about approximately 100% of the year round heating and hot water load
Wind turbines located off site to provide approximately 10% of the energy use. There is also some contribution from 1.5KW wind turbine on site. (Wind turbines are subject to planning permission)
Collecting rainwater for toilet flushing and site irrigation
All thermal insulation values will be compliant with Building Regulations Part L and exceeded where possible. (see section 18.1)
Future provision for under floor cooling will be allowed.
All sustainability features will be prominent, legible and (wherever safe and practicable) accessible to students, visitors and staff. Environmental performance data will be linked to building management systems, displayed in public areas, and available online for detailed study |
