Ground source heating materials boost schools' sustainability
22/07/2010 11:01:26
Heating materials that draw warmth from the ground are helping two schools to raise their levels of sustainability.
Ynysowen Community Primary School in South Wales has a 14-hole ground source heating system capable of providing 74 kW of heat pump capacity.
The sustainable heating materials were installed by FP Hurley & Sons, a Llanelli-based building services firm.
Annual savings in carbon emissions of four tonnes - the equivalent of planting about 400 trees - are achieved thanks to the heating system.
Meanwhile, St Johns College in Oxford is currently installing a 48-borehole system due to come online this summer.
This is expected to produce 115 kW of cooling capacity and 146 kW of heating, equating to 17 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
ENER-G Sustainable Technologies is providing the heat pump technology required by the schools and says that local authorities can gain an emphasis on cost, efficiency and reliability through the use of its products and services.
