After supporting the Education Funding Agency (EFA) in the development of the new Priority School Output Specification, natural ventilation specialist Breathing Buildings has created a guidance paper to help contractors and engineers comply with the new criteria and cost targets.

Breathing Buildings supported the EFA in the assessment of ventilation strategies and the review of energy modelling, and therefore is expertly positioned to advise on compliance.

The guidance paper highlights the ventilation requirements within the new Output Specification along with recommended solutions and data from Breathing Buildings sites such as Linton Village College. 

Dr Shaun Fitzgerald comments: “We were honoured to be asked to contribute to the various meetings in the development of the Output Specification and feel that the new requirements are strongly aligned with our guiding principles regarding the importance of a sustainable ventilation strategy. Having been involved with the process we are very well placed to help contractors, architects and engineers comply with the new Priority School Output Specification and deliver a low energy school with a superb indoor climate.”
