RASSIVHAUS RESEARCH LEADS TO BRITAIN'S FIRST ZER04CARBON SCHOOL

摘要

Montgomery Primary Schoolis England's first zero-carbon PassivHaus school. Professor Coley first designed such a school on paper over twenty years ago, but the realisation has only been possible due to the enthusiasm of Devon County Council and the Department for Education.The 450-pupil school opened in November 2011, and has now completed a rigorous certification process which marks a key milestone for the UK's building industry. On the same day, two other schooLs in EngLand received PassivHaus certification; however, only Montgomery Primary School can claim to be a zero-carbon school. PassivHaus claims to be the fastest growing energy performance standard in the world, with over 30,000 buildings realised to date.
