St Angela of the Cross Primary School
St. Angela of the Cross Primary School showcases a remarkable aluminium window project that harmonises functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. This project features angled frames matching the pitching of the roofs, tinted glass to maintain a mild internal climate, Low-E glass for energy efficiency, and glass louvres for maximal airflow. Each element contributes to the school’s architectural and environmental excellence.
Angled Frames: Harmonizing with Architectural Elegance
The aluminium windows at St. Angela of the Cross Primary School feature angled frames that align with the pitching of the roofs. This design enhances visual appeal and maximizes natural light penetration, reducing the need for artificial lighting. The result is a well-lit, pleasant learning environment for students.
Tinted Glass: Maintaining a Mild Internal Climate
Tinted glass in the windows helps maintain a comfortable internal climate by reducing solar heat gain. It minimizes glare and keeps interiors cooler during the summer months. This reduces the school’s reliance on air conditioning, leading to energy savings and a smaller carbon footprint.
Low-E Glass: Enhancing Energy Efficiency
The use of Low-E (low-emissivity) glass exemplifies the school’s commitment to energy efficiency. Low-E glass minimizes ultraviolet and infrared light passage while allowing visible light, resulting in better insulation. This helps keep the building warm in winter and cool in summer, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling.
Glass Louvres: Maximizing Airflow
Ventilation is crucial for a healthy school environment. The aluminium windows are equipped with glass louvres that can be adjusted for optimal airflow, providing excellent natural ventilation. This maintains indoor air quality and reduces the need for mechanical ventilation systems, enhancing energy efficiency.
This school project sets a high standard for educational facilities, demonstrating that beauty and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
