These include the upgrade, renovation, improvement and new-build of technological solutions at various universities, colleges and private institutions. Energy, CO2 reduction and security are important considerations for the education sector. With smart and green technological solutions Imtech is able to respond to this well.
Imtech CEO Rene van der Bruggen said Imtech is one of the strongest technological players in the UK education sector. More and more educational institutions are setting high demands in terms of energy saving, reducing CO2 emissions and improving security.
"Smart and green technology makes this possible. Integration of all available technical services creates total solutions which make economic sense, in spite of many budgets often being fairly tight," Bruggen said.
As technology partner, Imtech is involved in such projects as the technological expansion of Loughborough University. In addition to being an architectural tour de force, the new East Park Design Centre at this university is also an example of an energy-efficient building and includes among others high-tech energy monitoring system.
At Nottingham Trent University, new student accommodation is being realised to cater for 827 students. This is also an example of an energy-efficient building and includes for instance solar panels for the hot water supply. Commissioned by Lend Lease, four new energy-efficient secondary schools are being realised in Birmingham.
At the Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge Imtech is implementing an energy-efficient technological upgrade incorporating solar photovoltaic solution which convert sun light directly into electricity and CHP technology (combined heat and power technology). Imtech is also responsible for all technical solutions, including natural ventilation and energy efficient technologies, in new educational buildings at the East Basildon Academies in Basildon, the Thomas Clarkson Community College in Wisbech and the Ormiston Bushfield Academy in Peterborough.
