The programme aims to invest in and improve educational facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, MPs have called for a cut in building demolitions<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/less-talk-and-more-action-for-industry-to-meet-net-zero-targets\/119422\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> to save carbon<\/a> and to focus on retrofit and the reuse of buildings.<\/p>\n<p>The carbon-neutral school was awarded through South East &amp; Mid Wales Collaborative Construction&#8217;s \u00a31bn framework.<\/p>\n<h3>CarboniCa will be used to construct the zero carbon school<\/h3>\n<p>Morgan Sindall&#8217;s carbon reduction tool CarboniCa will be used to construct the carbon-neutral school. It will help Morgan Sindall to support its customers in decarbonising local communities.<\/p>\n<p>CarboniCa is part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morgansindallconstruction.com\/our-approach\/intelligent-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Morgan Sindall\u2019s Intelligent Solutions<\/a> approach, and brings together digital and platform design with MMC to create unique, sustainable, and inspiring places for customers.<\/p>\n<p>It measures whole-life carbon emission to ensure that potential carbon outputs can be managed and reduced during the entire building lifecycle.<\/p>\n<h3>Pen Y Dre is one of the largest school refurbishments in Wales<\/h3>\n<p>Morgan Sindall will use the existing frame from the 50-year-old building and make it suitable for modern standards. The contractor will work closely with\u00a0civils and architects to ensure this.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure that the school is carbon-free in operation, the design has been tailored with\u00a0CarboniCa. It will use<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/understanding-heat-pumps-could-be-key-to-upgrading-energy-efficiency-of-uk-homes\/120460\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> air-source heat pumps<\/a> and mechanical electrical equipment, so that the building will run without using fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>The school refurbishment will increase Pen Y Dre&#8217;s capacity from 800 to\u00a01,100 places for 11-to 16-year-olds.<\/p>\n<p>The new building design\u00a0will make the school more accessible, removing a lot of steps from the original site and improving provisions.<\/p>\n<h3>Workshops will be provided for teachers and pupils to promote carbon neutrality after construction<\/h3>\n<p>Morgan Sindall will ensure that the building remains as carbon-neutral as possible by providing workshops for teachers and pupils to educate them on sustainability and how to use it efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Williams, area director at Morgan Sindall Construction, said: \u201cPen Y Dre is a hugely important development for us, the local community, and Wales as a whole. It will be the first refurbished net zero school of its size which we believe will shift attitudes about demolishing and rebuilding existing facilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have made it our priority to engage with the school from the outset to educate them on sustainability, heat loss, and building efficiently to make sure that the efforts we put into constructing a carbon friendly school are continued by those who use it.<\/p>\n<h3>The hand-in-glove-approach will ensure disruption is kept to a minimum during construction<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWe will take a hand-in-glove approach with the local authority to deliver a state-of-the-art school which will inspire pupils and ensure disruption is kept to a minimum for the surrounding area and teaching. We will also collaboratively use Merthyr Tydfil\u2019s knowledge on carbon targets with our expertise from other projects, such as recycling and reusing existing materials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also look forward to working with the school\u2019s Eco Council, which is student-led, and have planned a series of workshops on sustainability and Net Zero. It is fantastic to see pupils display such passion and enthusiasm for the environment and the future of their school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe pride ourselves on nurturing the next generation of talent, and Pen Y Dre will be an exemplar project for apprentices to cut their teeth on a site from start to finish due to the length of construction works.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>&#8216;Helping to set standards for achieving net zero in Welsh schools&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p>Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council Cabinet Member for Education Cllr Michelle Jones said: \u201cWe\u2019re pleased and proud that Pen Y Dre is helping set standards for achieving net zero in Welsh schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Council has been working for a number of years towards meeting Welsh Government\u2019s targets for the public sector to be carbon neutral, ensuring that all newbuild\/refurbishment projects are completely energy efficient \u2013 our new bus station is the first fully-electrified one in Wales.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPen Y Dre High School has long been known for its high aspirations for all its learners. We are delighted the refurbished building will soon match these aspirations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgan Sindall has been appointed by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council to deliver a new carbon-neutral school in Wales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[172731],"tags":[430,685,465],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-125399","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-projects","7":"tag-energy-efficiency","8":"tag-morgan-sindall","9":"tag-sustainable-construction"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Morgan Sindall to lead construction of carbon-neutral school<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Morgan Sindall has been appointed by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council to deliver a new carbon-neutral school in Wales\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/morgan-sindall-appointed-lead-construction-carbon-neutral-school-wales\/125399\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Morgan Sindall appointed to lead construction of carbon-neutral school in Wales\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Morgan Sindall has been appointed by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council to deliver a new carbon-neutral school in Wales\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/morgan-sindall-appointed-lead-construction-carbon-neutral-school-wales\/125399\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
