School solutions for Scotland
Exi-tite is supplying energy efficient Helios ventilation solutions with heat recovery for three of the first Passivhaus schools in Scotland, creating a healthy learning environment for a combined total of more than 5,000 students and staff.
The company became the first Passive House Institute (PHI)- certified ventilation distributor in Scotland last year, when Alan Gordon, Regional Director for Scotland, passed the PHI Tradesperson examination.
That level of expertise has led to Exi-tite delivering ventilation at Perth High School, Dundee East End Community Campus and Monifieth Learning Campus. All three projects can achieve efficiencies of 67kwH/m2/annum to meet stringent government targets.
Passivhaus (or Passive House) buildings deliver high levels of energy efficiency and comfort for users, alongside outstanding air quality through ventilation. Designed to maintain an almost constant temperature, they are constructed, insulated and ventilated in such a way that requires very little additional heating or cooling, other than from the sun and the activities of its occupants.
A total of 75 Helios Air1 XC units of varying sizes have been used across the three sites, all installed with Class 3 rectangular dampers to guarantee acceptable air leakage levels.
