why Salix?
A Salix 100% interest-free £11,386
capital finance loan and client support
offered Johnstown Primary School a
cost and resource effective solution.
The Salix project compliance tool
showed financial savings from
implementing new lighting and
pipework insulation within the school,
and allowed Johnstown Primary to
achieve a project payback of 5 years.
Once the project has paid back,
Johnstown Primary School will go on
to benefit from over £1,913 in annual
energy cost savings.
The Salix solution
The Salix solution allowed Johnstown
Primary School to improve their
heating and lighting across the entire
school. They hope the new lighting
and pipework insulation will provide a
more stimulating learning environment
which will motivate students in the
classroom. Many of the children have
gone home and told their parents
about the projects - an example of
how energy awareness is spreading in
the community.
Salix and the school
The Salix Loans Programme worked
very well for Johnstown Primary
School, allowing them to implement
new lighting and pipework insulation.
The children were involved throughout
the Salix project, from the early
planning stages to working with the
school’s energy manager to learn about
how the loan and the technologies will
help their classrooms. The school also
has a green flag award from the Eco
School Programme and has an active
eco-club, eco-greenhouse, mini-beast
hotel and vegetable garden.
