The Challenge
When Warrington Borough Council decided to develop a new urban village, it wanted an innovative, ultra-modern primary school building at its heart that was able to demonstrate the council’s commitment to sustainable living.
Central to the Council’s vision for the new school was a building that could achieve an energy efficient BREEAM rating of ‘Very Good’.
£0 building project
142219m² floor area includes 14 classrooms
420 pupils and staff
The Requirements
Key to the £4.3 million building project was a low-impact design which used advanced, renewable, energy efficient equipment to keep the school environment fresh and comfortable for both staff and pupils.
The Solution
The designers were so confident that the Ecodan system would fulfil every requirement for the building’s heating and hot water that only a small gas supply has been installed to serve the kitchen area.
The CAHV system is capable of delivering 172kW at an outdoor temperature of -3°C, with minimal drop off down to -20°C including defrost.
