Certification was achieved by the Portakabin Group, which includes Yorkon, following a rigorous independent assessment of the company's environmental policy, compliance with legislation, control systems and procedures, and targets for further improving environmental performance.
Yorkon has also recently launched a series of new design options for ‘greener' school buildings manufactured off site, offering significant environmental benefits, such as the use of renewable sources of energy, reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions, and recyclability.
The optional features include solar thermal heating, solar photovoltaics, passive ventilation, combined heat and power systems, ground and air source heat pumps, wind power, green roofs, biomass boilers, and rainwater harvesting. Some of these options have already been used in buildings provided by Yorkon, such as a recent project at Bewdley High School in Worcestershire - believed to be the UK's most sustainable modular school building.
