Edge Hill University has won over £200,000 of funding in competition with other major public and private sector organisations to introduce state-of–the-art technology to cut carbon emissions on the Ormskirk campus.
The grant, award by the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform will fund elements of the new £14m learning and teaching centre currently under construction and the existing Learning Innovation Centre ( LINC) building .
The innovative scheme will introduce a ground source heat pump into the new facility to supply heating and cooling and will remove the need for a less efficient existing system currently supplying the existing LINC building. The ground source heat pump will make use of the huge water resources that exist underneath the site in a water recycling system.
In addition the Southwest elevation of the new building will be used to generate up to 50% of the hot water requirements by using solar thermal technology and storing it in a 3000 litre tank.
Visitors to the new facility will be able to see for themselves the benefits of this new technology through LCD display screens in the entrance to the new building which will monitor energy usage and carbon footprint .
Dr John Hindley, Environmental Manager at Edge Hill University said:
“We are delighted with our successful application to the Government's low carbon funding programme. By introducing these technologies we continue to demonstrate our commitment to providing energy efficient buildings which incorporate our principles of carbon management. We continue to develop our understanding of our energy usage across the campus. The application of low carbon technologies are one way in which we can reduce our energy costs, improve our efficiency and assess our carbon footprint.”
