Energy Efficiency Increased!

It's good news for our students and the environment as we have increased the efficiency of our building.

As would be expected, our move to our new building saw a huge leap in energy efficiency, taking us to Band C in the comparative energy performance rating. We're delighted to report that in Year 2 we have managed to streamline our energy usage even further and improve our independently assessed operational rating from 71 to 66.

The gains have largely been achieved by a decreased usage of heating energy and a greater proportion of consumption of renewable energy, both procured from the network and generated on-site from our solar farm.

Whilst our premises team have led on the improvement, all staff and students can take credit for the more intelligent use of doors, windows and air conditioning systems that have all contributed positively to our efficiency.
