Bright World Partners, Stover School
have become more environmentally friendly with the installation of a whole
school biomass boiler heating system, supported by Lloyds TSB Commercial
Banking.
Stover School, founded in 1932, is an independent
co-educational day and Boarding school for age ranges 3 to 18 years set in 64
acres of parkland. The school benefits from the historic buildings that
were part of the original Stover Estate as well as modern building added by the
school more recently. The ever increasing cost of energy led the school to
convert to using green technology and Biomass Boilers rather than remain
reliant on fossil fuels and5D Energy Group were commissioned to install the two
biomass boilers and over 600 metres of underground pipework.
The biomass project at Stover School
has been approved by Ofgem under the renewable heat incentive scheme and the
school will benefit from regular payments under this scheme. The installation
is one of the largest installations of its kind in the region and represents a
major investment by Stover
School in green
technology..
The school approached Lloyds TSB
Commercial Banking, which has previously extended finance for a new sports
pavilion and also provides a working capital facility. Plans are now also in
place to extend the school’s boarding facilities to to provide additional
facilities for boys.
Henry Cummins, head of finance and
operations at Stover
School, said: “The new
biomass boilers are making a huge difference to the school and the
environment. By using wood chip instead of oil or gas, we are less
susceptible to price increases and we can keep bills down, meaning the savings
can be used to invest in the school. The project has also proved very popular
with all parts of the school and complements schools membership of the national
eco school programme.
