项目摘要

The project will work with teachers, governors, pupils, building designers, researchers and policy makers in Leicester over two academic years to engage with them in the science, engineering and technology of carbon neutral schools. Leicester is the UK's first Environment City and has a long history of carrying out energy efficiency improvement work and installing renewable energy technologies. It is in the first wave of the national programme Building Schools for the Future which will refurbish all the city's 17 secondary schools in a 220 million programme. Leicester is also unique in that most of its schools have intelligent metering to read the electricity, gas and water consumption every half hour. The project will address the science, engineering and technology of energy efficiency and renewable energy in school design and operation through training courses, hands on activities, visits and a dialogue between pupils and both building energy experts and policy makers. It will focus on the schools that are being rebuilt in Leicester as part of the Building Schools for the Future initiative. There would be two main areas of engagement, firstly between the pupils and the energy experts from the project partners and secondly between pupils and policy makers from Leicester City Council and the Department for Children, Schools and Families.The pupils will experience practical energy related projects. These will include:discussions on thermal performance, ventilation, daylighting and appliance use in school buildings,visits to sustainable buildings , workshops with building energy experts, researchers and policy makers relating to their school building,multimedia presentation work and role play, building small scale renewable energy models and investigating the siting of wind turbines,computer simulation,analysing electricity gas, water and temperature data.This will stimulate teacher and pupil interest in future energy use and inspire them through hands on experience of sustainable energy projects. They will be able to explain the role of thermal insulation, daylighting, ventilation, electrical appliance use and renewable energy in buildings to both policy makers and the wider school community. The pupils will engage with young researchers, so hopefully being inspired to think about a career in science and engineering. The project will also analyse the post occupancy performance of the four low energy schools currently being built, so helping to determine whether predicted energy and water consumption reductions have been achieved. Finally the pupils will engage with the policy makers (the Leader of Leicester City Council and the other senior decision makers involved in the BSF process). This will then inform the design and operation of the new schools being built in Leicester and also inform the DCSF about the design and operation of new school buildings to maximise environmental sustainability.Evaluation is a key part of the project. On-line questionnaires will be completed by participants before, during and after the engagement. The results of these evaluations will be disseminated at BSF and other events that will take place over the next three years. It will help inform the national BSF programme development.

该项目将在两个学年内与莱斯特的教师、州长、学生、建筑设计师、研究人员和政策制定者合作，与他们一起参与碳中和学校的科学、工程和技术。莱斯特是英国第一个环境城市，在开展能源效率改进工作和安装可再生能源技术方面有着悠久的历史。这是第一波的国家方案建设学校的未来，将重新定位所有城市的17所中学在一个2.2亿美元的方案。莱斯特的另一个独特之处在于，它的大多数学校都有智能计量装置，每半小时读取一次电、气和水的消耗量。该项目将通过培训课程、实践活动、访问以及学生与建筑能源专家和决策者之间的对话，解决学校设计和运作中的能源效率和可再生能源的科学、工程和技术问题。它将重点关注莱斯特正在重建的学校，作为“为未来建设学校”倡议的一部分。参与的主要领域有两个，第一个是学生与项目合作伙伴的能源专家之间的交流，第二个是学生与莱斯特市理事会和儿童、学校和家庭部的政策制定者之间的交流。学生将体验与能源相关的实用项目。这些活动将包括：讨论学校建筑的热性能、通风、采光和电器使用，参观可持续建筑，与建筑能源专家、研究人员和政策制定者举办与学校建筑相关的研讨会，多媒体演示工作和角色扮演，建立小规模可再生能源模型并调查风力涡轮机的选址，计算机模拟，分析电力、气体、水和温度数据。这将激发教师和学生对未来能源使用的兴趣，并通过可持续能源项目的实践经验激发他们的兴趣。他们将能够向政策制定者和更广泛的学校社区解释建筑物中隔热，采光，通风，电器使用和可再生能源的作用。学生们将与年轻的研究人员接触，因此希望受到启发，考虑在科学和工程的职业生涯。该项目还将分析目前正在建造的四所低能耗学校在使用后的表现，从而帮助确定是否实现了预期的能源和水消耗减少。最后，学生们将与政策制定者（莱斯特市理事会领导人和其他参与BSF过程的高级决策者）接触。这将为在莱斯特建造的新学校的设计和运营提供信息，并为DCSF提供有关新学校建筑的设计和运营的信息，以最大限度地提高环境可持续性。评估是该项目的关键部分。参与者将在参与之前、期间和之后填写在线问卷。这些评价的结果将在未来三年内举行的边界安全论坛和其他活动中传播。这将有助于为国家基础设施方案的制定提供信息。
