Short description of the renovation and its purpose:

The school is more than 35 years old and a renovation is needed. The roof is not weathertight, the windows are punctured and not tight and the insulation levels low. Also the lighting system is old-fashioned and consumes too much energy.

Energy conservation and renewable energy measures:

Energy conservation: The windows sections need to be replaced with low-energy frames and glass. The insulation levels of the roof and external walls is to be increased. The indoor lightning system is to be renewed using LED or inductance lighting systems.
Efficient energy supply: The school is connected to the district heating network and therefore there is no need for changing the heating supply system as such.
Renewables: The possibility of installing PV on the roof will be investigated, especially from the economic point of view. Also a small DHW-solar system for pedagogical reasons might be installed.
Advanced control and monitoring: The BEMS system for automatic management of heating, ventilation and lighting system is to be renewed/replaced by an up-to-date system that allows for demand control of the heating, ventilation and lighting systems.

Training materials:

3 sets of training material for pupils, teachers and technical service personnel available in Danish

Responsible person for the demonstration project:

Birgit Jørgensen. The municipality of Ballerup.
