About this Project:

In collaboration with SES and Wates, this project involved the construction of a state-of-the-art, net-zero carbon secondary school in Leicester. Brook Mead Academy consists of a modern 3-storey teaching building and a separate Sports Block, replacing a previous temporary facility elsewhere in the city.

The new school is designed with sustainability at its core. Key features include:

  • Solar panels for renewable electricity generation
  • Air source heat pumps to provide efficient heating
  • Natural ventilation systems to reduce energy consumption

These elements, combined with smart energy management, enable the school to offset all operational carbon emissions – making it one of the most environmentally friendly educational buildings in the UK.

Brook Mead Academy officially opened in September 2025, offering places for up to 1,200 pupils and employing 128 staff members.

More about the BMS Installation at Brook Mead Academy

LCSL played a vital role by supplying and installing strategically placed control panels equipped with Tridium controllers across both the main school building and the Sports Block.

These advanced control systems manage and monitor:

  • Renewable energy technologies
  • Natural ventilation systems
  • CO₂ levels and overall energy usage

The integration of these systems ensures optimal building performance and contributes significantly to the school’s net-zero carbon goals.
