CASE STUDY: WAINGELS COLLEGE

摘要

Waingeis College is a exemplarily low carbon timber framed comprehensive school near Reading. It demonstrates many of the potential embodied carbon and operational carbon savings described in this article. Through the use of the timber framing the main contractor Willmott Dixon managed to save time off the construction programme and also reduced the amount of carbon from the build process by over 6,000 tonnes. This time saving was essential as the main building works needed to take place during a restricted build program designed to fit in the school calendar.
