Ashden Award: Hollybush Primary School, energy-saving and biomass-burning, Derry, Northern Ireland

www.ashden.org/...
Dogged determination and fantastic team work helped Hollybush Primary School in Derry, Northern Ireland rapidly improve its energy performance, going from Band E to B on the Display Energy Certificate energy performance rating scheme in two years.
Technological investments including a biomass heating system using locally sourced wood pellets have been complemented by regular monitoring of the school's energy performance. But most important has been engagement of staff and pupils across the board. This has been achieved by making gradual changes, with very simple energy saving measures introduced, like installing low-energy lighting, switching off lights when not needed and steadily lowering thermostats in classrooms.
