libraries</h2> <p>The smart air conditioning systems provide the best possible learning environments for our students and deliver benefits beyond air cooling. These benefits include better air quality and comfort and increased awareness of sustainability and energy use. </p> <p>The NSW Department of Education has prioritised the installation of air conditioning systems across the state. We install reverse cycle air conditioning in eligible permanent learning spaces and libraries. Where we install reverse cycle air conditioning, existing unflued gas heaters will be removed. If and where we need to, supplementary flued gas or electric heaters will be retained or installed.</p> <p>Where schools have a mean maximum January temperature at, or above 30 degrees, we will install air conditioning in classroom and library spaces that do not currently have any air conditioning installed, and we will replace existing air conditioning systems in eligible spaces where deemed appropriate. If a classroom has air conditioning that works, then we would not remove and replace it. There are approximately 600 schools across NSW, and funding must be prioritised to meet the needs of students. We’re also conscious that students in other areas may also be experiencing hot conditions that are unique to their school or local area.</p> <h2>Temperatures</h2> <p>To determine which schools are eligible, we use the Bureau of Meteorology’s (BoM) mean maximum January temperature data as it is the hottest month of the year. The data is assessed as an average over a 20-year period, which allows for peaks and troughs to be accounted for in the results. BoM is Australia’s national weather, climate and water agency and provides reliable and expert data on the long-0term monitoring of temperatures in NSW.</p> </p> </div> </div> <div class="text parbase"> <div> <p><h2>Benefits beyond cooling</h2> <h3><span style="background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;">Year-round comfort</span></h3> <p>Reverse-cycle air conditioning units will cool in the summer and heat in the winter for year-round comfort.</p> <h3><span style="background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;">Fresh air</span></h3> <p><b style="background-color: transparent;"> </b><span style="background-color: transparent;">In addition to cooling and heating, the systems will supply fresh air to avoid stuffy environments.</span></p> <h3><span style="background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;">Improved air quality</span></h3> <p><b style="background-color: transparent;"> </b>When additional fresh air is needed to boost indoor air quality, the systems will alert teachers and students.</p> <h3><span style="background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;">Optimising comfort</span></h3> <p>The systems are fully programmed to provide the optimal environment for any season with the touch of a button.</p> <h3><span style="background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;">Promoting sustainability</span></h3> <p>Schools will install renewable energy sources – such as solar – to limit our environmental impact.</p> <h3><span style="background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;">Promoting awareness</span></h3> <p>Through smart-monitoring, teachers and students can learn how to minimise their energy use.</p> <h3><span style="background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;">Reduced energy usage</span></h3> <p>Air conditioning will automatically shut off after 2 hours.</p> <h3><span style="background-color: transparent;font-weight: normal;">Bringing the outside in</span></h3> <p>Monitors notify teachers and students when the weather outside is optimal for opening windows.</p> </p> </div> </div> <div class="text parbase"> <div> <p></p> </div> </div> <div class="page-banner-options"> <script> function on(overlayCount) { document.getElementsByClassName(overlayCount)[0].style.display = "block";
