Management System and thermostats and control settings should be checked regularly to maintain high system performance.
Whole life efficiencies
Maintenance plays an important part in increased whole life operational efficiency. For this reason, we recommend routine boiler maintenance and servicing as this will flag any potential issues early on. Establishing a proactive, rolling replacement
programme is also advisable, particularly for schools with several plantrooms, or school estates managers responsible for a number of sites. This is especially important where resources are tight as planned, phased replacements can be budgeted for in advance, reducing the chance of unexpected extra costs.
Waste not, want not
Demonstrating a commitment to energy efficiency is increasingly important to the reputation of schools and sets an excellent real-life example to students and parents. Condensing boilers help school managers reduce the building’s carbon footprint while delivering significant and immediate energy and cost savings. At the same time, improved comfort levels help generate the optimal learning environment for the benefit of students and staff. Schools – time for a boiler upgrade?
HVAC in schools FERNDOWN HOLDS ALL THE ACES D
orset County Council has selected Remeha Gas 220 Ace boilers to improve the energy efficiency of the heating at Ferndown First School in
Dorset. The move, which came as part of the Council’s wider environmental commitments, has resulted in a sharp drop in gas consumption at the school. Initial indications from Dorset County Council are of outstanding gas savings in the region of 48%. When the original boilers serving Ferndown First School came to the end of their working life, Dorset County Council appointed Mabey Francis Building Consulting Engineers to advise on the replacement. Andy Cope, director at Mabey Francis, recommended replacing the ageing boilers with two Remeha Gas 220 Ace condensing boilers. Contractor Darren Notley at Dixon Mechanical Services
Ltd was impressed with the ease of installation. “The Gas 220 Ace boilers are light and compact, so they were easy to handle and quick to install,” he said. “The clever packaging design meant that they came off the pallet easily once inside the plantroom and, as they have integrated wheels, positioning was equally simple. We then connected up the pipework and the flues – it all went seamlessly.” The Gas 220 Ace is designed to meet high efficiency, low NOx criteria with gross seasonal efficiencies of up to 98% and ultra-low Class 6 NOx emissions. This helps contribute to lower heating bills while generating a more comfortable, productive learning environment for children and their teachers.
