The UK and China both have a tremendous amount of existing school buildings stock and demands for new school buildings. While these buildings being upgraded and built, unique challenges and opportunities are presented. Some of them are very applicable to the school building construction in North America.

The UK has embarked upon an ambitious program to rebuild its aging stock of schools and universities through a combination of refurbishment, upgrade and new build. Whilst the driver has been to transform education for the better, key issues have been to improve IEQ for better productivity and reduce energy costs and carbon emissions. This presentation shows how the HVAC approach has evolved to deliver to ambitious targets and to proactively support education through knowledge having, exemplar construction and student portals into BMS.

According to local resource conditions to determine a viable energy utilization program, the use of energy prices, energy demand system parameters such as initial investment, life-cycle cost analysis of possible options to obtain energy priorities. Area-based annual hourly load demand, the study area energy characteristics. Comprehensive energy use characteristics and regional energy characteristics, the development of complex energy utilization program, the life cycle cost analysis of different energy matching mode to determine the proportion of all kinds can be assumed for energy.
