Two of the UK’s first three schools to receive the stringent Passivhaus certification are designed by Architype, previous Ashden award winners for their high standards of sustainable building design. Passivhaus is a green building system based on dramatically reducing the requirement for space heating and cooling, whilst creating excellent indoor comfort levels. The approach was developed in Germany in the early 1990s.
Geothermal International, who won an award from us in 2009 for its work installing ground-source heat pumps, has just won £12 million in investment to expand its work.

So far they have taken 200 solar lamps produced by D.light design to the remote Riau islands off Indonesia, and hope to reach 10,000 people. The students were taken aback by the eagerness of local residents to switch from their dangerous kerosene lamps to the more safe and efficient option.
