Milton Abbey School in Dorset to install a biomass boiler, water harvesting technology and air source heat pumps
Milton Abbey School independent school in Dorset is to install a range of measures, including a biomass boiler, water harvesting technology and air source heat pumps to save 3.3 GWh of energy per year, reducing the school’s carbon footprint by 1,000 tonnes. The measures, to be implemented by EIC – part of Utilitywise – follow an audit of the school’s energy use and are expected to provide an annual saving of £330,000 on the school’s energy bill. Underpinning the project is a finance package sourced by EIC as part of the overall energy strategy.
The Energy Solutions team at EIC were brought in by Milton Abbey School to advise on ways to reduce the school’s energy consumption. Through discussions with the Bursar the remit of the project has grown to involve a wide range of activities from a simple pool cover to support with energy and oil tendering. The impact on students has not gone unmissed and the project will also provide opportunities for pupil involvement, from classroom-based activities to learning more about a career in the energy sector.
