Hazlemere Windows Recognised for Green Design Credentials
Hazlemere Windows is delighted a recently completed project has gained substantial recognition for its sustainable and eco-friendly design credentials.
Work has been completed at Bideford College in North Devon. Hazlemere Windows designed, manufactured and installed all the aluminium curtain walling, double glazed windows and commercial entrance doors for the new building. To ensure the project was a success, Hazlemere called upon its considerable experience of working with local authorities on projects of this nature to ensure the design and installation ran smoothly. The new college was previously awarded the Most Sustainable School Design Prize at the BSF Awards in London.
Bideford was built in conjunction with the government’s Building Schools for the Future programme which invests in school developments that are designed and built using environmentally-friendly and sustainable materials and methods. With the BSF’s guidelines in mind, Hazlemere worked closely with aluminium specialists Sapa to ensure all the metal used for all the windows was made from 100% recycled aluminium billett.
The award further strengthens Hazlemere’s environmentally friendly credentials and illustrates the firm’s expertise in delivering modern and sustainable design projects. Mark Austin, Marketing Director at Hazlemere, said: “We’re delighted with the project. Sustainable design and production in the building industry is an extremely important part of tackling climate change. Everyone at Hazlemere is really proud to have been involved in such a successful and innovative development.”
The new college has been designed to accommodate 1800 pupils and will act as a facility for Science and Sustainability for local students.
