Sheiling School is set in a beautiful woodland campus and provides education for children with special needs. With the price of energy set to add £10,000s to their annual energy bill, the school wanted to find practical ways to reduce costs whilst also helping them improve their environmental impact across a dozen different buildings, each with its own energy challenges.

The school chose Greener Energy Futures as an ideal partner to help tackle energy and carbon reduction; with experience helping dozens of other schools reduce energy bills and source funding to support measures, Greener Energy Futures were able to survey the site and identify an immediate potential to save £23,000 through energy management projects, most with paybacks close to or less than 5 years. Further, the measures could reduce the school’s carbon footprint by 40 tonnes annually, making it fit for the future by shifting away from fossil fuels.

Additionally, Greener Energy Futures helped the school apply for grant-funding for some of the energy-saving interventions which could help kick-start the programme of measures.
