Inverclyde Academy,
Greenock
Inverclyde Academy incorporates several environmental and renewable
energy schemes undertaken to reduce the school's carbon footprint
and to try and protect the school from fossil fuel price increases.
The school is crowned with a 25m high Entegrity EW15/50 50kW
wind turbine.
The turbine is expected to produce around 80,000kWh of electricity
for the school and will contribute an estimated 20% of the school's
electrical demand.
The turbine is the first 50kW turbine to be supplied to a UK
school on a monopole tower. This was selected over a lattice tower
due to the aesthetics and security. |
