🏫 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 A school in #Wales has harnessed a one-of-a-kind #renewable energy source to heat its classrooms: the country’s only natural #thermal spring.

The waters of Taff’s Well on the outskirts of #Cardiff are reputed to have healing properties, but now they’ve been put to modern day community use keeping staff and pupils at nearby Ffynnon Taf primary school toasty warm.

A ground source heat pump installed by #Cornwall-based Kensa is also using the well’s 21C water to warm the pavilion at Taff’s Well Bowling Club. #Emissions across the two sites have been reduced by almost 80%.

“Using the historic Taff’s Well thermal spring as a renewable #heatsource is a brilliant example of how bold ideas can lead to something that benefits future generations,” said Dr Stuart Gadsden, Kensa’s contracting commercial director.

Ffynnon Taf headteacher, Kathryn Price, added: “We will continue to celebrate the success of the #thermalspring installation in our community for many years to come.”
