Come to stand 306 to hear Nigel Aylwin-Foster’s presentation "How to get to net-zero affordably & efficiently’ which aims to address the concerns of schools and colleges that are feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of beginning their transition to estate decarbonisation.

The presentation seeks to break down the jargon associated with net-zero, provide practical guidance on how schools should get started, what the government line is, and confront the inevitable fears associated with the subject matter.

To help schools and colleges understand the process, the presentation uses pie charts and animated graphics to explain the key steps involved and includes a number of recent case studies.

How will the attendee benefit from attending:

The aim is to demystify the apparent minefield that is net-zero in schools and colleges by:

1. Explaining the net-zero basics.

2. Outlining government policy, deadlines and available government funding – predominantly LCSF & PSDS.

3. Providing detail on how to plan for net-zero/decarbonisation at a school or college estate.

4. Expanding on what is a Heat Decarbonisation Plan (HDP): the logic and stages of the HDP.

5. Demonstrating a Funding Strategy at Trust Level
