Being part of a groundbreaking initiative within the New Zealand construction and education sectors brought with it an opportunity to go on a special journey for the Premier Heating team from Taranaki. Green School New Zealand’s new ‘Kina’ structure was designed to inspire creativity while providing a safe, welcoming and nurturing space for its learners and sta . With a brief that called for energy e cient, sustainable and quality crafted products, Premier Heating owner Aaron Flood says there was always a strong synergy between what the school needed, and what his company could o er. “These beliefs rang true when planning how we could provide consistent and reliable comfort to classrooms. Through landing on an e ective in-slab (under oor) heating system, we’re able to generate warmth to the learners and educators in a highly e cient manner, by using heat recovery ventilation. The systems used also introduce fresh air into the classrooms and remove stale air, making it a safe and comfortable environment to support their everyday learning.” The installation of the under oor heating heat recovery ventilation with air source heat pump was not always easy, says Flood, with the project bringing physical and technical challenges that tested them. “We’re always looking to grow as a team and this project certainly gave us some positive challenges that we will carry with us on future projects.” Throughout the build, Premier Heating used its highest spec Stiebel Eltron products which Flood says o ered his team a great deal of con dence. “Working with an established and globally recognised brand gives us the con dence to know that we are working with the highest quality heating products, while having the local support and knowledge we can rely on for our client’s needs.” Flood says to watch Green School’s growth has been exciting, and to collaborate and be a part of local history, has been a privilege. “As the world enters a new phase, reliant on e ciencies and sustainability, our ongoing journey with Steibel Eltron sets us on the right path to meet our customer’s needs and ourish in these fast-moving environments.”
