Slough Grammar School, UK

Retrofit Concept
Following on from a survey, a five year contract was drawn up and agreed and the energy saving measures - heating controls and lighting controls - were installed.

In 2002-2003 a low cost automatic utilities auditing system using real time monitoring of energy consumption and remote meter reading technology was installed.

Building Construction
Heating and Lighting Controls were installed and subsequently monitored by a Automatic Utility Auditing System (called Chick).

The heating controls fitted under the energy services contract consist of optimum start and electronic temperature control to the areas of the school with electric heating (mainly relocatable classrooms).

The lighting controls fitted under the energy services contract consist of automatic occupancy and daylight sensing controls in the 48 rooms identified as having potential for good levels of energy savings.



Heating / Ventilation / Cooling and Lighting Systems
Actual energy was unknown prior to the installation of the controls and the automatic utility auditing system and hence the energy saving can not be calculated.
