Efficient School Heating Solutions for Enhanced Comfort and Safety

When it comes to school heating, addressing the diverse heating needs of classrooms and facilities is essential. Classrooms for younger children require specialized low surface temperature systems with safe, cool-to-touch pipework. On the other hand, spacious areas like sports halls demand efficient large space heaters to maintain a comfortable temperature of around 18°C.

Prioritizing safety during school heating projects is paramount. While scheduling work during holidays when pupils are absent is ideal, it may not always be feasible. At Cowley, we understand these challenges and work closely with schools, ensuring the safety of everyone involved by establishing secure work zones within school premises.

Adherence to regulations such as BB101 and BB93 is crucial for school heating systems. These regulations primarily focus on health and safety standards, including the installation of CO and NG detection systems near appliances and flues located in occupied areas.

Equally vital is the durability and quality of heating equipment installed in schools. Given the potential for playful mischief, we’ve witnessed instances where pipework gets bent, and radiator valves become damaged. Such issues not only impact efficiency but can also result in uncomfortable classroom temperatures, oscillating between excessively warm and freezing cold.

Efficient controls play a pivotal role in optimizing school heating systems. A well-designed control system significantly enhances efficiency and ensures consistent comfort levels throughout the school environment.
