Scape looks to roll out school modules heated by children

摘要

The design arm of procurement organisation Scape is in discussion with local authorities about the roll-out of its latest design for modular school buildings - classrooms largely heated by the children using them. The design concept, called Connect, has already been used to build classrooms to house 4,500 pupils, predominately in Bedfordshire. Scape is now in discussion with a series of other local authorities including several London boroughs, Milton Keynes, Lincoln, Warwickshire and Nottingham City over using the design to meet the need for school places in their areas. The Connect concept uses off-site manufacture to create classrooms that can either be added to existing premises or configured as whole multi-storey schools, which have an air tightness result of 1.48m~3/hr per m~2 at 50Pa, under the standard measure for airtightness.
