Schools

Fresh air, healthy classrooms — better learning environments

SEN provision, independent schools and academy trusts are faced with the same three challenges: air quality that meets BB101, classrooms that overheat through the summer term, keeping running costs low. Windhive® answers all three from a single roof-mounted unit.

The real world challenges

The challenge How Windhive helps
  • Meeting BB101 ventilation criteria in occupied classrooms
  • CO2 climbing through a lesson in a full room
  • Overheating through the summer exam period
  • Noise in teaching and exam spaces
  • SEN: designing for pupil sensitivities
  • 100% fresh air with heat recovery, no fans
  • Sensors that respond to CO2 and temperature through the teaching day
  • Night purge to take heat out of the structure before the next morning
  • Silent in the room, supporting the acoustic strategy
  • Low ventilation running cost, carried across the life of the building
  • Cloud monitoring on every unit, with performance reports from Ventive

Performance that holds up at tender

BB101

Supports a strategy that meets the ventilation criteria

TM52

Supports the overheating assessment

BB93

No fan noise in the occupied space

Each unit saves 1,600 kWh per year*

*When modelled against typical natural ventilation strategies that do not have heat recovery
