The three storey structure was located within the grounds of the existing school to provide a purpose-built learning facility for 1350 pupils. A key feature of the design is the maximum use of natural light to enhance the sense of space and well-being.
A major focus of the design was to achieve an energy efficient, low carbon campus enabling a BREEAM “very good” award.
An integral part of the mechanical services to the building, is a natural ventilation system, using double-glazed louvres to complement the natural lighting effect, as well as a sustainable approach to maintaining a comfortable environment.
A total of 38 Fieger FLW 28 SmoTec units were installed to meet the building requirements including a dual-function emergency smoke venting capability.
The Fieger louvre vents were supplied with double-glazed blades using toughened glass outside and laminated inside to comply with The Scottish Building Regulations.
The vents were manufactured with a polyester powder finish to the framework: RAL 9004 Signal Black.
To provide the dual-purpose smoke venting function, our CE marked SmoTec models were installed; all of which are tested and certified in accordance with EN 12101-2.
Each unit was supplied complete with D+H 24 volt DC actuators, for simple, reliable operation and connection to the fire protection control system. These actuators also feature an anti-trapping function as standard.
The vents were manufactured complete with 28mm glazing adapters to facilitate installation into the curtain walling.
A key characteristic of the Fieger SmoTec vent is the energy efficient design, achieved by the class-leading low air leakage rate, together with low U-values.
