materials and finishes that are durable and weather and wear well. In Special Schools the Contractor shall take account of the possibility of accidental or deliberate damage, including the wear and tear caused by Mobility Equipment, the affect that certain colours, patterns and textures can have on some people, and the higher risk of harm and infection for the most vulnerable children and young people. Where the building fabric (external walls, ground floor and roof) are the primary means of controlling the internal environment, the Contractor shall ensure that the design follows the fabric first principles through: minimising the use of all resources; reducing the demand for energy and water use during the Works Period; minimising waste and carbon dioxide emissions during the Works Period. The Contractor shall ensure that products and materials are not specified that do not comply with: The Montreal Protocol; British Standards or equivalent European industry standards as amended. The Contractor shall not specify products and materials that: are generally within the European Union at the time of specification to be deleterious to the environment, and/or health and safety, or diminish the durability of other structures, finishes, plant and/or machinery; are on the lists of banned materials available from the European Commission’s Enterprise and Industry website (http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise) or the Health and Safety Executive () websites; contain substances that deplete the ozone layer, as identified by the United Nations Development Programme. All internal finishes and fittings be such that levels of Volatile Organic Compounds in the air do not exceed 300µg/m³ averaged over eight hours. The Contractor ensure that all materials are selected with due regard to their suitability for purpose and performance, durability, ease of maintenance and repair, resistance to accidental or malicious damage and to their environmental impact. The materials used must also take account of any particular local requirements or planning conditions In Special Schools where there are pupils with complex health problems, particular account must be taken of safety and hygiene. The Contractor shall ensure that robust materials and finishes are used that stand up well to the

Baseline Energy Model to predict the energy consumption and carbon emissions of the School in the format of a DEC rating for the School. This predicted DEC shall be exported to the Carbon Buzz website. The Contractor shall aim for this rating to be at least equivalent to a DEC Rating of C. Where the use of Legacy equipment means that initially this is not possible, the Contractor should identify means for the School to achieve the equivalent of a C Rating in future by implementation of efficiency measures, for example by recommending replacement equipment to the School to improve energy efficiency. The In-Use Energy Model and Energy Reporting As part of handover the Contractor shall set up energy and water consumption monitoring and reporting processes for the School/Framework User. These shall include monthly exception reporting to identify and isolate incidences of avoidable utilities consumption. The reporting system should be able to identify instances where energy consumption exceeds the predicted end use or established benchmarks, eg, by more than 15% and additional energy or water payments are likely to be incurred. Examples would be when: all lights in corridors are left on all night; loads are left on during holiday periods, or there is high consumption overnight or during holiday periods. Energy and water monitoring The End Uses for the Contractor shall predict the annual energy and utilities consumptions are: Space Heating The temperatures to be used for predicting the initial baseline heating consumption are the normal maintained air temperatures in the table in paragraph 2.8.19(a) of this OS. The minimum room temperature in any serviced area shall be 5oC at which temperature the heating system will be automatically switched on for a minimum of 30 minutes for frost protection. Adjustments can be made where the School chooses to run parts of the building at higher temperatures. This energy end use shall be separately metered. Hot energy consumption In Secondary Schools where centrally supplied this energy end use shall be separately metered and the hot water flow rate shall be separately metered. Total cold water consumption This be separately metered.
interfaced with the AMR data, for use in energy management and in the School curriculum. The Contractor shall provide: detailed specifications and commissioning schedules for the BEMS; centralised monitoring of mechanical systems through the BEMS; a web based interface to control systems; structured security access coding to prevent unauthorised access to the system; provisions for remote dial in by a party; and control zones which match the building and system operational zones. Controllers/control equipment The Contractor shall specify all of the controllers, sensors, thermostats, emergency/safety buttons, links, and any other control equipment required to complete the scheme. A schedule for the control equipment shall be required to form part of the specification for the controls systems. environmental controls The Contractor shall provide local control for teaching staff over their immediate environment for lighting, heating and ventilation in new build, remodelled and major refurbished areas. All user controls shall be easily comprehensible, accessible and quiet in operation. The Contractor ensure that: controls are clearly labelled, easy to use by untrained School staff, reliable and as far as possible automatic (while allowing for some degree of local override – see below); thermostats and room sensors are tamper-proof, as required by AD L; where specific controls are required to be operated by authorised personnel only, they will be located accordingly; all controls should be located so as to deter unauthorised use by pupils;
contain alarm communication devices, such that the School is aware of a trapped person and communication can be made with a 24 hour help line, via a direct link, to arrange their release; have a lift capacity appropriate for their expected use. Where lifts are required, the Contractor shall carry out a lift traffic analysis to identify the speed of the lift, its size and the waiting time. The minimum waiting time shall not be less than “good” as defined by CIBSE lift traffic analysis. The Contractor may use platform lifts if no other suitable alternative means is available, but they should not reduce the effective width of corridors or stairs. The Contractor shall ensure that lifts that are used as a means of escape should be fire resistant and have a separate electrical supply. Lifts in Special Schools In Special Schools, arrangements for lifts will require detailed consideration with the School staff - see the School’s requirements. The Contractor shall ensure that in Special Schools: full evacuation lifts should have a separate secure electrical supply and are recommended for means of escape in multi-level Special Schools; where required by the School, lifts with very wide doors and very large lift car sizes may be needed to ensure all children can be evacuated quickly and safely. Communication Systems Period Bell and PA Systems The Contractor shall ensure for new and remodelled areas that: where bell systems are required by the School to denote the start of the daily School session and to identify the end of various periods, they shall be flexible enough to deal with changes to the timetable; possible, class changes shall be by a lower decibel rated system to that of the fire alarm, which may use local telephones as sounders; the shall in any case be easily distinguishable from the tones/bells used for raising the fire alarm;
