Isaac Newton Academy chose a 90kW Combined Heat and Power unit to assert their commitment to green energy initiatives, whilst generating over £32,000 per year in energy savings and reducing their carbon footprint by around 144 tonnes per annum, the equivalent to taking 48 cars off the road each year.
The CHP system was commissioned in July 2012 but started running properly in October aligned with the opening of the new school. As part of the package, ENER-G’s specialist CHP engineers will maintain the system for the academy.
The benefits of CHP in the education sector:
Offers financial savings over conventional energy supply
Avoids Climate Change Levy • Primary energy savings deliver lower energy bills
Higher efficiency offers reduced greenhouse gas emissions offsetting the impact of the Carbon Reduction Commitment
Greater security of supply and plentiful hot water
Flexible procurement options • Zero CAPEX required
