PROJECT OVERVIEW

Supporting the sustainability ambitions of the school

To support Urmston Grammar School in achieving their decarbonisation targets, we’re providing management support for procurement and delivery of heat decarbonisation plan (HDP), working closely with consultants Hulley and Kirkwood.

The HDP will provide a strategy outlining how the school will reduce its reliance on fossil fuel heating systems by implementing low-carbon alternatives, such as heat pumps and renewable energy sources, ultimately working towards net zero carbon targets.

DRONE TECHNOLOGY

Identifying energy inefficiencies from above

To help our client understand the current thermal efficiency of their buildings, our geomatic consultancy team has carried out thermal imaging surveys. Using infrared technology to detect heat emissions, a heat map is created which clearly shows building inefficiencies, such as heat loss due to poor insulation, as well as air and water leaks.

This information will be incorporated into the HDP to ensure thermal efficiency and therefore carbon reduction is maximised. As well as procuring site surveys, we’re also working with an engineering consultant and reporting to the funding authorities.
