Dunbar Primary SchoolSchool design principles
•Range of flexible and adaptable spaces to support curriculum and school aspirations
Energy efficient; high insulation, low embodied energy
•Natural ventilation / low CO2 levels; good natural day lighting; simple controls
•Natural materials, renewable, recyclable
•Durable and low maintenance
•A high quality, healthy, educational environment, both internally and externally.
Dunbar Primary School School design principles
Energy use – conservation and on-site generation
Generation includes
• Solar thermal water heating
• Wind energy
Energy conservation – reducing heating and cooling demand through design, layout and orientation and building fabric
Embodied energy of construction materials and finishes – the more natural, the least energy is used in production and the healthier the environment
Thermal modelling
Dunbar Primary School School design principles
Water use
• low water usage – target 3.5m3/ pupil / annum - efficient appliances
• rainwater harvesting if possible for flushing toilets / garden useBiodiversity – • design of external areas for a variety of habitats and exploration with woodland and wildflower areas. • wetland area planted with reeds, rushes and bog plants taking overflow from rainwater storage tank• shelter belt along west boundaryForest Schools • use of adjoining woodland to learn about natural environment, develop skills, outdoor play etc
Dunbar Primary School School design principles
Outdoors - • themed gardens – areas for pupils to grow flowers, fruit and vegetables• outdoor classrooms for environmental studies• quiet and active play areas• hard playground and grass areas for P.E. in the curriculum
Building as a learning tool – knowledge of materials, their origins, their content and its effect on the environment; can they be recycled?
Technology as a learning tool – e.g. Wind turbines, solar water heating and rainwater harvesting system linked to real time display and IT network to support “Eco Schools” initiative and curriculum. Children can be actively involved in monitoring the energy use of the school – raising their awareness of the issues
