"In 2008/9 BFC were commissioned to carry out an Energy Services feasibility study that helped develop a strategy that guaranteed financial viability and long term security of both conventional and renewable energy supplies together with a significant level of practical eco-sustainability. The medium term objective was to position Taunton School with a lower carbon footprint and look to become a model exemplar location for sustainable distributed energy."
"The Taunton School study covered the entire schools requirement for heat, light and power supporting the annual needs of 1,500 staff and pupils across 24 multi-boiler plants rooms, in addition the future requirements of running a leading institution were taken into account with several quantified technical scenarios over short, medium and longer term time periods."
Leading Independent School Future Proofs with Energy Services and Carbon Profiling Strategy
"The study provided analysis to optimise running costs, improve resource efficiency, make rational and fully costed on-site renewable, CHP and conventional energy choices, calculate paybacks, Feed in Tariff and Renewable Heat Incentives revenues & number of integrated strategies reduced to reduce emissions, in short Taking the guesswork out of the Low Carbon Economy. All the recommended scenario’s for conventional and renewable energy supplies were in keeping with the local environment and HSE requirements by selecting proven low carbon, efficient low impact efficient technology, meeting or exceeding Greenhouse Gas reduction targets."
