Passivent has supplied a combination of Hybrid Plus2 Aircool ventilators and Hybrid Plus Airstract roof ventilation terminals for a new London primary school to help create a healthier, more comfortable learning environment for children and staff to thrive in.
Greatfields Primary School in Barking and Dagenham is a three-form entry school which will eventually serve 630 pupils. This £11.8 million project was overseen by main contractor Auburn Group, which worked alongside Net Zero Buildings, the group’s off-site construction partner. As the structure was built off-site, this minimised disruption in the local area during the construction phase and helped meet overall sustainability targets for the project.
Working with Cedar Mechanical and Electrical, Passivent supplied 58 Hybrid Plus2 Aircool wall ventilators, each mounted behind an external weather louvre, to ventilate the classrooms with fresh air from outside.
The team also supplied several of its Hybrid Plus Airstract roof terminals for ventilation of the school’s main hall. Passivent provided temperature and CO2 sensors in each space along with a 35-zone iC8000 controller to regulate the internal environment and the whole system was linked back to the building management system (BMS).
