Building Fabric Assessment

Understand how your school is wasting heat by asking S2e to carry out a building fabric assessment of your existing estate.

Schools and academies often waste heat and energy due to limited understanding of their energy wastage, poor insulation leading to heat loss, and budget constraints preventing the replacement of old, inefficient boilers and buildings.

This energy inefficiency not only impacts finances but also contributes to unnecessary CO2 emissions, highlighting the pressing need for more sustainable practices.

Why have a building fabric assessment?

  • Understand and improve the thermal efficiency of walls, floors, windows and roofs

  • Reduce energy load by implementing thermal efficiency improvement plans

  • Ensure heat is being kept in your school buildings.

An S2e building fabric assessment will:

  1. Help you identify where heat is being wasted

  2. Suggest energy-efficient solutions

  3. Bring your existing estate up to modern standards

  4. Save you money on energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint

Collaboration and recommendations

With the data obtained from our building fabric assessment, S2e will conduct a thorough analysis to identify areas where we can provide the most value within your budget constraints. We will recommend the most suitable technologies to enhance the thermal efficiency of various building components such as walls, floors, windows, and roofs.

Additionally, we will propose innovative solutions to further reduce energy consumption, including strategies to free up electrical capacity by minimising load. Our expertise extends to improving the comfort of draughty classrooms and sports halls, creating more conducive environments for teaching and learning.

We will also assist you in exploring government funding options for decarbonisation initiatives, such as replacing fossil-fuel boilers and implementing energy-efficient LED lighting systems.
