Tour A


Outline• Overview of standard ESD inclusions

• Outline of the Comfort Conditions project

• Results of ESD trials

• Tour sites


Energy Conservation

• Orientation• Insulation

(wall/roof)• Passive

ventilation: windows, roof ventilators

• Light strips• Blinds

• Timers: lights, heating

• Lamp selection• Standard details• Ceiling fans• Landscaping


Indoor Air Quality

• Low to nil VOC content paints• Tung oil finish for timber flooring• Wool carpets• Move towards linoleum• Water based adhesives• Use of ‘Forbo Krommenie’ pinboard• Termite barriers and termite resistant

materials


Water Conservation

• Low flow controllers• Dual flushing cisterns• Push button release taps and bubblers• Native and drought tolerant

landscaping• Water tanks (selected sites)• Dams (selected sites)• Grey water reuse (selected sites)


Comfort Condition Project

• To establish:– the overall performance of the latest

school designs

– the impact of variations in design

– the performance of specific ESD initiatives

– the level of use of features to improve comfort conditions


Parameters

• The school day is 9am to 3pm

• Concerned with comfort conditions in the

‘occupied’ zone of a room


Findings• The hottest part of the day occurs outside

school hours• The external, under eave location is the

hottest during the day (Hot Day)• The external, under eave location is the

coolest during the night (Hot Day)• The rooms do not cool down to the level of

the external, ambient temperature• Loggers on the southern and eastern walls

(internal) record higher temperatures (February)

BUILT 1996, FINAL EVALUATION 2004a) Worked Well• Livos nil VOC content paints

(internal)• Tung oil finish• Water based adhesives – have not

failed• Pinboards (Forbo Krommenie)• Note: many inclusions were/are now

standard – have performed well


Tour Sites – Buxton PS

b) Worked not so well• Many of the external elements have

not performed up to expectations. This has either been the product or it was unsuitable in the school context– Use of native grasses– Stormwater reuse– On-site aerated sewerage treatment– Underground drip irrigation


Tour Sites – Camden HS

• Extensive ESD initiatives incorporated:– Most dominant feature is the use of

solar chimneys– Material selection: timber screens,

brick internal walls for thermal mass– Collection of water runoff into a dam


Tour Sites – Camden HS


Tour Sites –Newington PS

• These facilities incorporate extensive ESD initiatives:– Extensive use of solar panels– Passive ventilation through a louvre

system– Use of ‘Ecotech’ for roofing– Material selections
