The Department for Education (DfE) approved a £500 million energy efficiency grant for schools, sixth form colleges and universities across England in order to help energy efficiency efforts and ensure buildings are future-proofed against higher energy bills.

By improving their energy efficiency, educational facilities can not only help to tackle the growing financial constraints of schools, but also encourage staff, teachers and pupils to become more eco-friendly in their day-to-day activities.

During this webinar, we discuss how schools and colleges can maximise energy efficiency upgrades to reduce carbon emissions by:

ensuring a thorough understanding their own energy usage

identifying where savings can be made across heat, lighting, water and buildings

involve all stakeholders, from pupils to parents, in the process
