These systems have the added bene" ts of heating with renewable energy.” Dominic Shortland of Seraphic Consulting, one of the British Airways i360 project’s building services consultants, says mostly the air conditioning is delivered via ducted fan coil units concealed in tight bulkhead locations. The installation consists of 26 slim ducted fan coil units (low external static pressure) and seven concealed ceiling units (medium external static pressure). The beach building also has a number of Daikin VAM heat recovery ventilation units to provide a constant supply of fresh air. The heat recovery facility minimises additional demand on the air conditioning systems when there is a signi" cant di$ erence between outdoor and indoor temperatures. In a further e# ciency boost, carbon dioxide sensors ensure the VAM units deliver only as much fresh air as necessary to maintain air quality standards.

    Longhill High School Longhill Falmer Road Rottingdean Brighton, BN2 7FR Tel: 01273 304086 Email: [email protected] News www.longhill.org.uk December 2016 ____________________________________________________ Hello from the Headteacher It’s the last week of the Autumn term and I’ve just passed my 100th day as Head of Longhill – and what an exciting journey it’s been! I’ve enjoyed every minute of the challenge, excitement and achievement that I’ve experienced so far and I look forward with anticipation to what the New Year will bring. I’ve had the pleasure this term of celebrating the achievements of the students who left us last summer – those students who achieved our best ever exam results – at Graduation Evening. I have high hopes that our current Year 11 students will do us equally proud and I know they have been working really hard during their mock exams over the past few weeks. Our new Year 7s have continued to settle in well, fitting in to the Longhill community and beginning to take an active role in the life of the school; Year 8 students are starting to consider their options, with their special Options Evening coming up in February; Year 9s have now started their GCSE courses – the first cohort to start this in Year 9, so it’s something new for everyone; Year 10 are also now well into their GCSE courses and are making excellent progress. We were all delighted this week to welcome so many children from the primary schools in the Deans Partnership to our Christmas pantomime.
