Two schools will have more efficient heating thanks to work over the summer.
Denbighshire County Council’s Energy team continued work during the summer holidays to drive down energy usage and lower long-term costs at council owned buildings.
The team has managed projects across council buildings, including schools, to improve building energy efficiency and reduce emissions as part of the council’s drive to reduce its carbon footprint after declaring a Climate and Nature Emergency during 2019.
Both Ysgol Esgob Morgan, St Asaph and Ysgol Christchurch, Rhyl, have new building management systems fitted to help improve onsite efficiency
The systems will help better optimise heating performance through improved monitoring of parameters including temperature and energy use, the council said. Thanks to this addition to both sites, the schools will see reduced energy consumption, and long term lower energy use costs.
Cllr Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, added:
“We remain committed to reducing our buildings carbon emissions, reducing energy use and lowering long term costs at schools through this work. We are grateful to the Energy Team for their proactive work and also the support from these two schools involved this summer.”
