Energy & Sustainability Challenges in Education
We understand the specific pressures faced by educational institutions
Budget Constraints
Intense pressure on operational budgets means energy costs directly compete with funding for teaching resources and staff.
Ageing Building Stock
Many educational buildings are older and less energy-efficient, leading to high heating costs and wasted energy.
Decarbonisation Targets
Public sector bodies, including schools and universities, face government targets to reduce carbon emissions significantly (supported by schemes like PSDS).
Resilience Needs
Ensuring consistent power for IT infrastructure, lighting, and heating is crucial for uninterrupted learning.
Leading by Example
A desire and expectation to demonstrate sustainable practices to students, staff, parents, and the wider community.
Furthermore, renewable technologies like solar panels provide excellent real-world learning opportunities for students studying science, technology, and sustainability.
