Chair: Dr Dejan Mumovic, University College London

9.40 - 10.00 John Palmer (AECOM):
The Development of Regulatory Compliance Tools for Ventilation and Overheating in Schools

ClassVent and ClassCool - suitable design tools to assist designers in meeting the requirements

10:00-10:20 Gordon Hudson (Mott MacDonald)
On use of building simulation tools in school design - Trying to have it all.

This paper will examine the outcomes of the simulation studies and their importance in the actual performance of schools.

11:20-11:40 Dr David Coley (Exeter University): School Design and Climate Change -
Designing for 2020 and Beyond

Modelling work for a UK Passivhaus school that simultaneously meets the zero energy and adaptation agendas will be presented.

11:40-12:00 Wayne Aston (Passivent): Natural Ventilation Strategies Simulated in Schools

The presentation is aimed at providing an overview to the different approaches to ventilation for wintertime indoor air quality and summer time overheating in schools.

14:00-14:20 Renate Powell: School Design - Holistic Low Carbon Design, the skills
required

Performance requirements for the visual environment, thermal winter comfort, thermal summer comfort, ventilation to world health organisation standards and acoustics are discussed.

14.20 - 14.40 Linda Sheridan - Scottish Government: Modelling cost impacts of changes to energy standards in Scottish building regulations

Capital and life cycle costs of scenarios comprising packages of energy efficiency measures plus low carbon equipment will be presented, and compared these with architectural measures and targeted building services efficiencies.
