Sussed Sustainability

A Passivhaus-designed extension to an Edinburgh school has been officially recognised as a first-of-its-kind in the city, receiving recognition for its groundbreaking use of energy-efficient design and materials, including cross-laminated timber (CLT).

The first Passivhaus primary school project in Scotland to be constructed from cross-laminated timber (CLT) has opened its doors in Edinburgh.

Planning permission has been granted for a new community campus in Faifley, West Dunbartonshire that will bring together two primary schools, a nursery and ASN provision with a host of community facilities, including a library.

Jenny Gilruth MSP, cabinet secretary for education and skills, today witnessed construction work beginning on an integrated educational and community facility for the east end of Dundee.
