The existing roof of Wadebridge School’s design, technology, art and science block had begun to fail, with leaks, discoloured rooflights and reducing daylight transmission. An extensive roof refurbishment required replacing the skylights above classrooms and hallways. The project also presented an opportunity to improve the building’s thermal performance and reduce energy bills.
We were appointed to provide rooflights which would achieve those goals without any significant solar heat gain. We also needed to manufacture the 75 rooflights to the roofing contractor’s strict school holiday timetable, and avoid storing stock on site.
Our CE EN1873-compliant, triple-skin em.dome ECO modular rooflights achieve superior thermal insulation, with complete unit U-Values as low as 1.40W/m2K, easily exceeding EN ISO 6946 standards. We specified the thermally broken 300mm PVC ECO em.curb for maximum insulation and easier installation.
We also incorporated manual opening and controllable rotating ventilation to improve air circulation.
Most importantly, we improved the internal natural lighting; extra daylight is proven to improve pupil concentration, communication, mood and achievement.
We timetabled manufacture, preassembly and delivery so that the 75 rooflights arrived on site in batches synched with the installation schedule.
