Scotland’s first Passivhaus Primary School opens its doors in Perth
The new Riverside Primary School was built in the grounds of North Muirton Primary School and accommodates pupils from both North Muirton and Balhousie Primary School.
Built to Passivhaus standards, where energy-saving measures are an integral part of the design, the building is 15-20 times more airtight than a traditional build and has 50 per cent reduced heat energy leakage. For those in the classroom, this means their new school will be comfortably cool in summer and warm in winter.
Metal Technology Ltd supplied its high-performance glazing systems for this state-of-the-art school and we’re delighted to have been involved in the first Passivhaus primary school in Scotland. Pupils have enjoyed regular site visits, discovering all about the advantages of their new school’s sustainable construction, which will be a fantastic new learning environment for all.
