As part of Flintshire County Council’s commitment to sustainability and reducing energy consumption, Cheetah was integrated into the kitchen refurbishment design at Penyffordd School. The primary goal was to address the rising concerns of global warming and contribute to the council’s broader objective of achieving Net Zero. With experience in working with schools and colleges, Cheetah was chosen for its proven ability to optimize energy efficiency. By implementing demand control kitchen ventilation, Cheetah significantly reduces the energy usage and carbon output of the kitchen’s ventilation fans. This not only lowers the school’s overall carbon footprint but also ensures the building is future proofed against evolving environmental standards.

We are continuing to install Cheetah to schools of all sizes across the country. Please contact our sales team for additional real time data from other schools we’ve installed Cheetah in.
