Before Energy Improvements
- Ground source heat pumps
Worcester was approached to update the efficiency of the heating system in a new teaching block, which had been built to replace six temporary run down units put up in the 1970s. The school was keen to show their ‘green’ credentials by building with sustainable materials and using ground source heat pumps to efficiently supply the heating and hot water for the new building.
Official energy ratings taken from Energy Performance Certificate
Energy efficiency ratingVery energy efficient - lower running costs Not very energy efficient - high running costs The energy efficiency rating is a measure of the overall efficiency of a home. The higher the rating the more energy efficient the home is and the lower the fuel bills are | Environmental impact (CO2) ratingVery environmentally friendly - lower CO2 emissions Not environmentally friendly - high CO2 emissions The environmental impact rating is a measure of a home’s impact on the environment in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The higher the rating the less impact it has on the environment. |
