Energy Pods: A Modular Approach to Decarbonising School Heating Systems
Cindy Kings, Associate Project Manager, Mott Macdonald | Ian Keeling, MEP Specialist, Cundall

This session explores the development of Energy Pods as an offsite-manufactured solution to replace traditional school plant rooms and end-of-life boilers.

Drawing on a programme of design, modelling and technical research, the session shares insights into system sizing, integration with existing infrastructure, and delivering modular solutions across diverse school estates.

Attendees will gain an understanding of how factory-built plant systems can support faster, safer and more efficient upgrades, while enabling a scalable pathway to decarbonisation, with pilot installations now under consideration.
