Breathing Buildings is set to showcase its complete ventilation solution of natural, hybrid, and mechanical ventilation for schools, colleges, and universities on stand 208 at the Education Estates Exhibition and Conference. Taking place at the Manchester Central venue on 14-15 October 2025, the event combines a two-day conference with an exhibition displaying innovative solutions for the education sector. The focus of the integrated event is on educational infrastructure: the funding, design, build, maintenance, and management of schools, colleges, and universities. 

This exhibition is timely since it follows the Government’s Spending Review announcement, which included extra school funding. Within the funding is £2.4 billion in each of the next four years to rebuild over 500 schools. as well as an annual maintenance investment to help improve the condition of the school estate. As schools look to improve their energy efficiency, This is the ideal time to add low-carbon, high-efficiency ventilation solutions into both new and refurbished education buildings. Installing this ventilation will ensure that increasingly airtight buildings maintain a healthy and comfortable learning environment for students. It also helps to improve productivity, reduce absenteeism and improve academic performance.

In addition to supplying award-winning, energy-efficient ventilation systems, Breathing Buildings also offers a range of service and maintenance options to keep ventilation systems running efficiently, quietly, and reliably for longer. This ensures that optimum performance is maintained, utilising minimum energy and therefore providing cost savings for longer. It also provides a healthier and more productive environment for students and staff.  

Matthew Cooper, Business Development Director at Breathing Buildings, says: “Breathing Buildings is excited to be attending the Education Estates Exhibition and Conference in October. Visitors to our stand will be able to learn more about our complete ventilation solution, as well as service and maintenance options for schools, and how we can help create a healthy and productive learning environment. With the new Government funding, now is the ideal time for schools to invest in energy-efficient ventilation.”

Breathing Buildings’ award-winning Natural Ventilation with Heat Recycling (NVHR®) range is an adaptable solution for schools, offering hybrid ventilation, which uses both natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation in one system design. This is an ideal solution for commercial buildings with high heat gains, such as schools, colleges, leisure centres, offices, theatres, and even churches. Hybrid ventilation is highly efficient and harnesses free heat (and so energy) that has already built up within a space. By installing hybrid ventilation, commercial buildings can maximise health, comfort, and sustainability without having to invest in significant building works, making it ideal for retrofitting or change of use. 

Last year, Breathing Buildings added to its range of Natural Ventilation with Heat Recycling (NVHR®) systems with its NVHRe, Natural Ventilation with Heat Recycling and Heat Recovery. Marking the next step in hybrid ventilation technology, the key difference between Breathing Buildings’ original NVHR® range and the new innovative Natural Ventilation with Heat Recycling and Heat Recovery (NVHRe), is the addition of a low resistance heat exchanger cell within the unit. This allows the unit to benefit from both heat recycling and heat recovery, reclaiming even more heat than previous models, saving more energy, providing greater occupant comfort, and allowing users to include it within the building energy assessments (SBEM).

Offering the lowest energy consumption for a hybrid heat recovery ventilation unit in the industry, the company’s award-winning NVHRe combines 46% heat recovery efficiency with low Specific Fan Power (SFP) of 0.075 W/l/s to help maximise a building’s energy savings. In addition, the NVHRe has several different operating modes to minimise energy use, enhance IAQ, and improve occupant comfort. An intelligent hybrid system, the unit automatically decides when and if mechanical operation is required, ensuring it only operates and uses energy when absolutely necessary.

In addition, the range includes units that can be the primary source of heat, needing no radiators, as well as a system that can offer further cooling. The British-designed and manufactured units come in three models with product variations to suit every need, with the standard NVHRe 1100 an NVHRe+ 1100, which includes a heating coil and is ideal for buildings in cooler areas, and an NVHRe C+ 1100, which features a heating and cooling coil for year-round comfort and full temperature control.

However, certain environments, such as gyms, canteens, libraries, landlocked rooms (rooms with no external walls) or spaces requiring fixed extract rates, need mechanical ventilation solutions to maintain consistent air quality and comfort levels. Air Quality Management Areas, where air pollution levels are higher than the national air quality objectives, also require mechanical ventilation and higher levels of filtration. Recognising this need, Breathing Buildings recently expanded its portfolio with its MVHRe commercial heat recovery range so it can provide a full range of ventilation options for all settings. A high-efficiency Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system. With heat recovery efficiency of up to 93%, low energy consumption, and ultra-quiet operation, the MVHRe complements the company’s hybrid ventilation solutions, offering schools a fully integrated, low-carbon ventilation strategy.

Breathing Buildings has adopted the CIBSE TM65 methodology for collecting product data and has completed these evaluations for all its ventilation units, allowing specifiers to accurately evaluate their environmental impact. Meanwhile, Breathing Buildings’ turnkey approach helps everyone; from thermal modelling and system design to site meetings and client demonstrations, tailoring a service to a client’s needs and adding value at every opportunity are important values within the business.

Visitors to stand 208 will be able to learn more about Breathing Buildings’ entire ventilation solution, and its service and maintenance options for schools, as well as being able to have some interactive fun while Breathing Buildings serves refreshments.

Fife Council’s new Dunfermline Learning Campus is setting the path for the nation’s Net Zero Public Building Standard, using Passivhaus Classic as a baseline. Gilberts Blackpool has played a pivotal background role in turning the objective into a reality.

Core objectives in the building services design has been low carbon consumption, internal comfort and good indoor air quality supplied by mechanical ventilation with heat recovery contributing towards energy consumption of <58kWh/m2/annum. 

To ensure the correct air quality and levels of air movement- in line with BB101- whilst taking into account idiosyncrasies of the building design, Gilberts’ grilles and diffusers have been used throughout the Campus’ two new schools- Woodmill and St Columba’s.

Across the learning spaces and breakout zones, Gilberts’ fixed (GD) and adjustable (GSJA) high capacity omni-directional swirl diffusers plus linear bar grilles (LG) maintain the compliant indoor air quality. Their designs mean fresh incoming air is rapidly mixed without excess noise nor draughts and used air extracted in line with each zone’s specific air change and heat loading requirements.

The swirls have all been strategically installed into the suspended ceilings of the learning spaces whilst the linear bar grilles are sited in bulkheads to provide air distribution into and out of the space.

The gymnasiums are covered by drum louvres. The drum louvres were chosen for their ease of installation into the non-standard ceiling tiles used and their ability to deliver the high capacity and long throw necessary for such large spaces. 

The Campus has been designed by AHR Architects. Project architect Jamie Gregory observed:
“Following the Scottish Funding Trust’s Energy in Use requirements, the building was designed to a stringent set of criteria to ensure maximum comfort with minimum overall energy consumption. Designing to the Passivhaus standard guaranteed we met the Energy in Use criteria. We were confident that the choice of Gilberts’ air movement units would deliver in terms of achieving and maintaining the indoor comfort levels demanded.”

The Dunfermline Learning Campus represents a continuation of Gilberts’ reputation as the leader for air movement, building on a track record that includes Edinburgh’s Learning Estate investment Programme. 

Founded 60 years ago, and still family-owned, Gilberts is the UK’s leading independent air movement engineer. It offers a comprehensive range of factory- and site-assembled louvres for screening, weather and noise protection: its acoustic louvres are BSRIA (Building Services Research and Information Association) validated.

Gilberts is unique in its ability to design, manufacture and test all products- including bespoke fabrications- in-house, to the extent it even designs and manufactures its own tools at its 140,000 sq ft head office and production facility.

Working with architect, Studio Dera, and contractor, IMS Building Solutions, Style was recently specified to divide the new teaching hall at Waltham Forest College in London, quickly allowing two separate rooms to be created. 

Meeting the criteria for a simple, yet highly effective, solution to divide the expansive space, Style recommended its popular Multiroll system.

Practical and affordable, Multiroll is a flexible, vertically rising moveable wall system that safely transforms vast spaces. Being housed in the ceiling when not in use, it takes up no floor space whatsoever, descending gracefully into position at the turn of a key.

Extensive safety testing and size specifications make Multiroll particularly suitable for schools, community centres and leisure facilities, delivering enhanced noise insulation and improved acoustics for large open areas such as gyms, sports halls and high-ceilinged rooms.

Waltham Forest College in London, is an inclusive college, supporting and encouraging students to ‘Think BIG’ in achieving their career goals.

Following a feasibility study into repurposing the old swimming pool and auxiliary spaces across the lower ground and ground floor, it was decided to convert this entire area into a large flexible teaching and learning space.

“The Multiroll is the perfect solution for Waltham Forest College,” said Michael Porter, Style’s group managing director, “as it’s an affordable and very effective solution for quickly dividing space and changing the use of the room.”

“On any given day, the college may need to cater for many different classes and events, and the simplicity and speed of operation of the Multiroll means the room can be opened up or divided into two between one class finishing and the next one starting.

“The college also hires out the room for external events, and being able to divide the room into two improves their ability to bring in important income as they can host more than one event at a time.”

Featuring installations from over 50 leading brands, the space offers a dynamic mix of product showcases, seminars, workshops, CPDs, and networking facilities. The studio is designed to foster creativity while providing a comfortable, collaborative environment for designers and architects. 

CHALLENGE

When Material Source Studio sought to enhance its meeting room with a ceiling solution that would push the boundaries of traditional ceiling tiles and encourage collaboration across its partners, Zentia in collaboration with MSS partner, Light Forms, stepped in to deliver a tailored solution. 

To meet the unique needs of Material Source Studio, Zentia was tasked with incorporating a ceiling solution that would tie in with the room’s soft furnishing and create a cohesive visual appeal. A ceiling solution that could integrate lighting and remain acoustically sound was also required to ensure the installation provided practical benefits, including a comfortable co-working and networking atmosphere. 

Material Source Studio wanted to highlight how successful collaboration between different manufacturers could result in a high-quality, bespoke product solution. For Zentia, a grid solution had to be devised that could include bespoke lighting from Light Forms as well as the installation of triangle ceiling tiles. 

SOLUTION

Zentia proposed and delivered a bespoke solution featuring the DecoFrame Kit Classic Canopy, Gridline, and triangle tiles in a mixture of white and grey. Zentia’s Solutions Design Manager, Nick Harper, created the design alongside providing the expertise and partnership working that Zentia is known for.  

Key features of the solution included bespoke lighting, designed in collaboration with Light Forms, which complemented the overall aesthetic and functionality of the raft system. The raft was tailored to align perfectly with the size and space of the table beneath it, ensuring a balanced and cohesive look. 

The meeting room containing the Zentia ceiling solution is positioned next to the kitchen and at the bottom of the main staircase meaning people were often walking past. The room is also primarily used to host presentations and board meetings, so an acoustically sound solution was essential. 

Completed in July 2025, the installation by Sound Interiors has transformed the showroom, combining form and function to create a striking focal point. The DecoFrame Kit Classic Canopy, Gridline, and triangle tiles enhance the ambience, inspiring designers and architects while providing a comfortable, inviting atmosphere for collaboration.

Two Tyneham 290HT 27kW air source heat pumps from Hamworthy Heating – a trusted British manufacturer and supplier of commercial heating and hot water products – have been installed in cascade for underfloor heating in a new extension at a primary school in Cambridge.

To accurately meet the heating requirements of the new school extension and ensure an even distribution of heat, the new system from Hamworthy Heating includes two 290HT 27kW Tyneham heat pumps with natural refrigerant, configured in a hydraulic cascade set up. The heat pumps are connected to a 500L buffer cylinder, which also features an electrical heating element, controlled by a BMS. The buffer connections, Exogel anti-freeze valves and degassers were also supplied by Hamworthy Heating.

This cascade arrangement allows for the heat capacity to be equally distributed according to the specific heating demands of the new school building.

Rather than rely on a larger single heat pump that could run inefficiently at partial load, the new cascade set up enables the units, which have inverter controlled compressors, to adjust their capacities as needed which will enable the school to achieve a more accurate match to its actual heating demand and optimise performance.

Additionally, as the new system can adjust to keep the heat pumps operating at their most efficient state, cycling of heat pumps and unnecessary energy consumption is avoided.

The two new Tyneham 290 HT installation also provides the school with increased protection against breakdowns. Unlike a single heat pump installation, which can result in complete downtime, the new system now supplies the new building with uninterrupted heating. Furthermore, as the workload is shared across two Tyneham heat pumps, stress and wear on individual components is significantly reduced.

Following a previously successful collaboration with Hamworthy Heating on the schools existing heating system, Sotham Engineering were keen to stick with a brand they could trust on the second phase of its project.

Ricky Harris, Sotham Engineering Services Ltd comments, “We choose Tyneham heat pumps due to their overall performance and efficiency. Having collaborated with Hamworthy during the first stage of the project, we found them easy to work with and always available to provide support and assistance”.

Building on the success of its popular Tyneham heat pump range, the new 290HT heat pump utilising natural refrigerant offers a co-efficiency of performance (COP) of up to 4.94 for optimum efficiency.

Quiet in operation, with noise levels as low as 64db(A), the latest 290HT heat pump range is available in five outputs from 15kW through to 50kW and can be cascaded to achieve higher outputs and can be combined with alternative Hamworthy Heating products to achieve a low-carbon hybrid heating system.

Following a successful installation, the new extension now benefits from a reliable and efficient heat pump system that will help the school to reduce its carbon footprint and lower operational costs.
