Neyland School
Encon Associates were commissioned by Pembrokeshire County Council to carry out a Daylight calculation and a LZC report to determine daylight factors, and to establish the most appropriate LZC energy source in accordance with ENE 5 of BREEAM Education 2008.
Neyland School was proposed to be constructed in Neyland, Pembrokeshire, SA73 1TG. The new school was to be built on the existing schools playing fields. As a condition of the funding arrangements, the new school was to be built to higher environmental standards than were currently required by the planning system. It was therefore the aim to achieve a BREEAM “excellent” rating.

We recently renovated a large early Edwardian home. Part of the planning approval was the need to obtain an excellent rating from BREEAM in our renovation. This covered everything from responsibly sourcing materials to energy efficient heat pumps and solar panels. Not being a developer the whole BREEAM process was very difficult to understand at first. Luckily we had Encon, and in particular, Glenn on our side. They provided invaluable advice and guidance, were reachable all the time and processed everything in a very timely manner. What was important was that we were able to seek their advice and counsel before we made key purchasing decisions. BREEAM is a complicated process and can seem overwhelming if unfamiliar with it. Having Encon on board with us had helped us achieve our goals of having an environmentally excellent renovation of a 1905 house.
