Based on this survey, an energy policy was prepared that included details of recommended improvement measures and a proposal was submitted to the Energy Saving Trust for funding support. Once approval for the grant was received, a five year contract was drawn up and agreed and the energy saving measures - heating controls and lighting controls - were installed. Retrofit features: The central oil fired boilers were replaced with new gas boilers and after sealing of underground ducts containing asbestos insulation new pipework was run at high level in corridors. Slough Grammar School took part in the Energy Services for Schools Programme run by the Energy Saving Trust. A 5 year energy services contract was set up, controls on the electric heating of relocatable type classrooms and occupancy control of lighting in classrooms and other areas were installed. Low cost automatic utilities auditing system using real time monitoring of energy consumption and remote meter reading technology was installed.   total report as pdf-download in English   © 2004 Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics
