| Atkins incorporates water management into school design Atkins, Europe's largest multi-disciplinary consultancy, has launched a new guide for those involved in the design and construction of schools, focusing on the principles and best practice in incorporating sustainable water management into school design. Produced on behalf of the Construction Industry Research and Information Association the guide, Sustainable water management in schools, has been prepared for use by the Department for Education and Skills, Local Education Authorities, head teachers and school governors, and designers and contractors involved in building and refurbishing schools. Jonathan Reed, who headed the report for Atkins, said: "There are an increasing number of drivers for implementing sustainable water management systems. Climate change, demographic change, the potential to save costs, and planning requirements are just some of the factors combining to make sustainable water management a vital element in school design and refurbishment." write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
