Energy efficiency in modern design has quickly become a standard expectation among building owners and occupants. Schools and other educational facilities such as colleges and universities are no different. In fact, these institutions can sometimes be the pioneers in changing how buildings are designed and constructed.
Reaching energy efficiency in schools can be achieved in a number of ways from the inclusion of high-performance heating and cooling systems, solar and/or geothermal systems through to ensuring the building envelope includes improved thermal insulating and air sealing materials such as spray foam insulation.
The right insulation solutions can help:
- Maximize the building’s energy efficiency and keep overhead costs down
- Students and faculty members stay more comfortable all throughout the year
- Reduce noises between different rooms and levels
- Improve the performance of the building’s HVAC systems, helping them last longer
- Reduce the building’s carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier environment
What can you do to improve the energy efficiency of your school?
- Cavity wall insulation – Simple to install at minimal cost but can reduce heat loss by 35%
- Solid wall insulation – More disruptive to install but you could be losing up to 45% of your heat through solid walls
- Roof insulation – Insulation at ceiling level or above suspended ceilings – simple to install and could reduce heat loss by 25%
- Roof level insulation – if you don’t have any ceilings, you can still insulate the roof at roof level using traditional insulation
- Draftproofing – easy, inexpensive and improves occupant comfort. Reduces heating costs by up to 10% and pays back your investment in a year or two.
