With 57 schools across England, James Browning has led Lift Schools through a transformative digital journey rooted in sustainability and improving learning environments where children can thrive. As early participants in the Net Zero Accelerator (NZA) Pathfinder Programme, Lift Schools helped shape how digital data supports decarbonisation, with BIM now embedded in guidance like GEMs and SEMs. Today, 25% of the estate exists in BIM. In this session, thought leader James Browning shares how legacy data from the Pathfinder project is being transformed into operational and sustainability outcomes, showing how digital tools create smarter, more impactful learning environments for children.
