Delegates at Education Estates had many of the same challenges, whether they were from a secondary, further or higher education establishment. People were hard pressed to choose just one answer, but with many of them being responsible for the school estate, concerns around the journey to Net Zero came out top, with several not knowing where to start or in what order to take the steps they needed. Other focus areas were around condition of buildings, operational running costs and pupil planning. We posed the question ‘What’s your biggest estates challenge?’ The results were as follows:
Journey to Net Zero – 24%
Addressing condition issues – 22%
Operational running costs – 20%
Meeting curriculum and pupils’ needs – 19%
Capacity – 15%

The journey to Net Zero is complicated. Building owners & operators must contend with ethical pressures, rising energy costs and constantly shifting policies. All whilst continuing to operate ‘business as usual’ and ensuring their estate is in line with statutory compliance. Refit_2050 helps building and portfolio operators identify ‘what to do’ and ‘in what order’ helping to simplify the transition to Net Zero whilst also taking stock of basic short term needs and ongoing pressures of building operation.
