Decarbonisation
Heat Management
Using Count Your Carbon to calculate your school's carbon footprint and build a decarbonisation plan
Preparing an overheating mitigation plan - a case study review of Torriano Primary School
The session will explore how to create an overheating mitigation plan for your school, using Retrofit Action For Tomorrow CIC (RAFT) case study at Torriano School as a guide. In the session RAFT will explain how to undertake a thermal mapping exercise, looking at hot and cool areas in your buildings and on your site and thinking about how you could use your spaces effectively during hot weather or extreme heat. RAFT will provide guidance on how to think about what measures you could implement over the short- and long-term to mitigate overheating at your school, to factor in to your future plans and maintenance.
This CPD session guides participants through the practical steps of using the Count Your Carbon tool to measure their school’s carbon footprint and develop a clear decarbonisation plan.
Through a step-by-step walkthrough, participants will learn how to register with the platform, gather and input data, interpret their report, and use these insights to inform meaningful action.
