How much could you save by installing exterior shading in your school?
A study conducted by The BRE estimates that the typical yearly cost of running air conditioning (excluding maintenance) is around £14.90 per m2. This means that for a classroom block with 1000 m2 of teaching space, the annual cost would be £14,900.
If these classrooms have a total window area of 150 m2, the cost to install exterior shading would be around £30,000 to £50,000. This is notably lower than the cost of installing multi-room air conditioning, which is approximately £395,000!
Since exterior shading requires minimal to zero ongoing operational expenses, and depending on the product, the initial cost can be recovered in about 2 to 3.5 years.
Additionally, in contrast to the ongoing maintenance expenses associated with air conditioning, exterior shading products have very low maintenance requirements, with MicroLouvre® screens requiring zero maintenance and can last for more than 60 years!
