Abstract

Maintenance and renewal of these buildings presents an excellent opportunity for the introduction of measures which improve energy efficiency. The measures introduced will vary from building to building, depending on the method of construction, the physical condition of the structure and services, and the available finance; this document gives guidance as to the selection of appropriate measures. Two broad classifications of school buildings are considered: Heavyweight - Victorian/Edwardian schools, schools of the inter-war period and 1970s schools. Lightweight - lightweight system-built schools of the 1950s to 70s and temporary buildings. A range of measures appropriate to each of these buildings is described in BB73 although many are common to both, and issues which relate to their implementation are outlined.
