Are you looking at opportunities to save on your energy costs and become more sustainable?
UK schools and colleges account for around a quarter of the public sector’s carbon emissions.
Recognising this, the government aims for the education sector to reach net zero by 2030. However, many school buildings are outdated, poorly insulated, and thermally inefficient, making this goal challenging. We understand that the path to decarbonisation can be daunting, but we are here to guide you every step of the way.
Our Journey to Decarbonisation Energy Report, conducted in partnership with Warneford Consulting, provides a thorough assessment of your school’s current energy use and building performance.
Here’s how our process works:
Comprehensive Energy Audit
We analyse your school’s energy consumption and building efficiency. This includes a detailed review of heating systems, insulation, and current energy performance.
Actionable Solutions
Based on our findings, we provide tailored solutions to enhance energy efficiency. This could involve optimising existing systems, improving insulation, or transitioning to low-carbon alternatives.
Return on Investment and Funding Advice
We help you understand the commercial implications of proposed changes, identifying potential funding routes such as grants and government schemes to support your decarbonisation efforts.
Long-term Decarbonisation Strategy
Our approach emphasises a ‘fabric-first’ strategy, ensuring your building is as energy-efficient as possible before implementing new technologies. We also consider the practicalities of replacing outdated, carbon-intensive assets in a cost-effective manner.
Support with Design and Delivery of Solutions
Many of the energy and carbon reduction solutions we identify require an element of design, and the use of specialist installers. We have the facility to provide design assistance, and access to a vast network of local providers that can help deliver competitive solutions to the highest standards.
By partnering with Green Net Zero, your school will receive a clear, concise blueprint for achieving a more energy efficient and sustainable estate. Our reports are designed to be accessible to all stakeholders, ensuring that everyone from administrators to facility managers can understand and act on our recommendations.
We recognise the unique challenges faced by educational institutions, particularly the dependency on fossil fuels for heating and hot water. Our survey takes these factors into account, offering solutions that are both technically feasible and economically viable.
Join the many schools that have already begun their journey towards a greener future with the support of Green Net Zero. Our aim is to create a positive, low-carbon environment for students and staff, enhancing both learning and sustainability.
