Summary
The installation of an innovative renewable "Energy Station" is helping GRAHAM to reduce its carbon footprint and power demands at Eton College. In the summer of 2020, the first phase of the college's capital development scheme to improve indoor sports facilities for its 1,300 pupils commenced when they appointed a privately-owned contractor to complete the Eton Sports and Aquatic Centre (ESAC).
The college, a preeminent Windsor-based boarding school for boys aged 13 to 18, is renowned for its forward-thinking approach. The school has invested in sustainable features and measures across its vast estate, such as photovoltaic (PV) panels, which adorn the distinctive parallelogram roof at the existing Queen's Schools campus, to generate much of its power requirements. This approach is in the plans for the ESAC, with provisions made for natural ventilation and PV cells on the sports hall's roof.
EnviroTech Energy Management is consulting to design and build an energy station to supply daytime power to the Eton site. The energy station will create an emission-free area, noise reduction by 90%, and facilitate the removal of diesel generators from the site to support the Graham Environmental policy and enhance their green credentials.
