What is the most effective way of selling air conditioning to schools?

Most schools in the UK consist of buildings that were erected in the 1960s and 1970s, long before anyone had to worry about the heat generated by computer servers or the effects of global warming.While some are now being replaced, most are either having individual room refurbished or are having to attempt to update facilities that were designed for a completely different approach to education.

Fortunately, during the past 15 years the amount of money schools have to spend has doubled and this trend continues as the government maintains its views that the key to the improvement of life in the UK is the improvement in the quality of schooling.

Schools therefore are not affected by the current recession and around half of the schools in the UK have already made at least one air conditioning purchase. But who makes the decision? How is the purchase arranged? And what is the equipment used for?

The report, 'Air Conditioning in Schools' answers these questions. It is based on a survey of schools conducted in December 2008 among schools with air conditioning and schools without.It looks at who makes the decision to buy, what influences them, and where and how the air conditioning is used.It also looks at those schools that do not have any air conditioning, and asks why not.

It also reports on the most effective methods of promoting air conditioning to schools, as well as examining which schools are the ones most likely to make a purchase either to replace old air conditioning, or to buy for the first time.

The report is backed up by a free advice service once you have read the report you are able to get further information on ways of promoting air conditioning to schools either by email or by phone.There is no additional charge for this follow-up service.
