Renewables Centre
Our Renewables and Energy Efficiency Centre is housed at our Granton Campus. The centre was opened in partnership with SP Energy Networks, the Energy Skills Partnership and Worcester Bosch and aims to upskill and reskill current and future professionals in green technologies.
About the Centre
The centre comprises a range of equipment that will be used in the construction and house-building sectors now and in the years to come, helping us save energy and move towards a net-zero future.
The Centre’s Aim
This training facility allows students, apprentices, and those already in the industry to learn how to use cutting-edge equipment and the key skills required to build low-energy homes and to modify existing homes to become more energy-efficient.
Students, apprentices and those within the supply chain learn these technologies so they can embed them early in their careers, understand them and use them to build houses for the future.
Partnership
The College received funding from Scottish Power Energy Networks and the Energy Skills Partnership to fund some of the renewable technology equipment housed at this centre.
In addition, the College has become a long-term strategic partner of Worcester Bosch, which has supplied additional state-of-the-art equipment, some of which is not yet commercially available.
Equipment
- Air-source heat pumps
- Ground-source heat pumps
- Solar PV Panels
- Rainwater Harvesting Equipment
