Scotland is set for its first Passivhaus high school after Edinburgh City Council unveiled plans for the new Currie Community High School.

The campus will use the rigorous Passivhaus energy standard and aims to reduce the amount of energy needed for heating by up to 90% and lowers the total amount of energy used by around 70%. The new school will support Edinburgh’s goal of net zero emissions by 2030.
