CROMWELL PARK PRIMARY SCHOOL, HUNTINGDON, CAMBRIDGESHIRE
This primary school in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, due to open in September 2002, is a Renewable Energy Technology (RET) project. It is designed to combine education about sustainability (as in the National Curriculum) and a reduction in energy consumption as a beacon of best practice. Proposals include a grey-water system to recycle rainwater and used tap water; photovoltaic panels; a wind turbine; and a solar water-heating system. The aim is to reduce energy bills, partly by exporting power to the national grid. Photovoltaic panels will power a number of the school's computers. An interactive display linking the weather conditions with the energy production from the solar and wind technologies around the school will teach children about sustainability.
