HOWE DELL SCHOOL - GROUND-BREAKING 'ECO-SCHOOL' OPENS

Howe Dell School. The first building in the UK to incorporate Interseasonal Heat Transfer (IHT). Developed by ICAX and implemented in conjunction with Fulcrum Consulting with funding from the Carbon Trust. In addition, it is the first interseasonally heated and cooled building using shallow earth storage that we are aware of anywhere in the world.

This new UK primary school, designed and built with a comprehensive approach to sustainable design officially opened on Tuesday 18th March 2008. Hertfordshire’s first ‘eco-school’ is the first building in the world to feature a revolutionary new heating system that uses the school playground to heat and cool its buildings. Designed as a demonstration project, the fundamental objective was to investigate and apply principles of sustainability at every level of the design development.
