The Hi-Impact installation, powered with ELe® technologies has enabled the school to achieve 70% energy savings. Beyond the energy savings however, the whole team at the school is now benefiting from the new computing solutions.
 

"As we were about to move into a brand-new build, we were looking for new, innovative ways to ensure that school was as eco-friendly as possible from the start. We were excited when we first saw the ELe® technology and could not quite believe that the computer was so small. We love the way that the device fits neatly behind the monitors saving space in the classrooms and it is so quiet without having fans in it so you don’t even know it is there! We chose it to potentially reduce our electricity costs after being shown how much energy is used by the fans inside a traditional PC tower compared to an ELe® device. Our Eco Club will be monitoring this for us with support from ELe® and we look forward to positive results. We were concerned initially about the speed of performance due to the size but we have been amazed at how much quicker the computer loads up when it is switched on and how much faster programs load; it is saving valuable teaching and learning time.” - Rebecca Stewart, Computing Co-ordinator
