Sustainability

News about global warming and its impact on the environment is everywhere. As a College we take our responsibility to reduce our impact on the environment very seriously and sustainability issues are high on our agenda.

Building Design

Our campus has been designed with a range of environmental features including an energy management system, rain water harvesting and solar thermal water heating to supplement hot water storage vessels.

Energy Usage

The energy efficiency of our campus is determined by a range of features including heat recovery systems, low energy and high frequency lighting and computerised building energy management system controls.

Electricity

Various energy efficiency measures, including good housekeeping measures, are being implemented to further reduce the overall electricity usage.

Gas

Our building management system is linked to low energy specification boilers.

Water

We implement a range of measures including rain water harvesting and non-concussive taps which restrict water flow.

Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation

We have solar thermal panels on our roof to heat water and we plan to install thin film single ply membrane photovoltaic systems to roof areas to generate electricity.
