Contractor: Interserve 

Description: As a specialist college of sports, Oldbury College of Sport needed a HVAC system to respond effectively and efficiently to ensure pupils could warm up or cool down and feel the effects almost immediately. SPC's Thermatile Plus Radiant Ceiling Panels provided the perfect solution, being easy to install and using no floor space. The radiant panels comply with the guidelines of Building Bulletin 87 (BB87) which states that radiant panels have a much faster response time and zero consumption of wall space. The guidelines also state that radiant panels have various advantages over 'long-lag systems' such as underfloor heating, which are not as responsive and have much less controllability through the heating system controls. Oldbury College of Sport is part of Sandwell's Building Schools for the Future (BSF) Program.
