"This project has now been completed and the architects estimate that although building costs are only 5% more than would be typical, energy savings in the region of 50% are to be expected. Pictures of the completed building will be posted here shortly."

sprinklers in schools

Fire Sprinklers

On 1 March 2007 we announced the new policy on sprinklers and their value as a measure against arson. We have taken the view that all new schools — except a few low risk new schools — should have fire sprinklers installed. However we do not intend to make this a compulsory measure.

The Building Research Establishment has developed two new practical aids that will enable local authorities and design teams to make the right decisions. One is an interactive assessment tool. We expect that new schools being planned that score medium or high risk will have sprinklers fitted. The other tool is a cost benefit analysis which helps the users decide whether sprinklers represent good value. These have been sent to local authorities.
