From Strategy to Delivery: How Do We Actually Decarbonise an Entire Estate?

From Net Zero Ambition to a Practical, Investable Energy Plan
Nigel Aylwin-Foster, Director, ReEnergise

1) The current reality: Net-zero ambition now sits alongside cost pressure, condition and operational risk.
2) Why disconnected projects fail: Examples involving heat pumps, solar, controls and cooling.
3) Start with the system, not the technology: Connect consumption, existing performance, infrastructure and operational requirements.
4) The three-horizon plan: Optimise now; prepare next; renew strategically.
5) Prioritise more than payback: Cost, readiness, dependencies, risk, comfort, resilience and carbon.
6) Five questions before approving the next project: A practical takeaway for delegates.

Decarbonisation AND Climate change adaptation – a win win opportunity!

Last summer we saw exceptional heat waves in the UK, and many education buildings struggled to cope. We can expect more of the same unfortunately. At the same time, and for many years, we have been trying to decarbonise the retained estate, though various measures and interventions. It’s time we joined things up and achieved both carbon reduction and climate change resilience as well. Here’s how…..
