Decarbonisation of Heat Works at Rotherfield Primary School

Decision to award a contract for replacement and upgrades to the heating system, lighting and building fabric improvement works, following tendering, which based on consultant pre-tender estimate will exceed £500k. These works will reduce heat loss, energy use and carbon emissions and achieve a transition from the existing fossil fuel boiler heating system to clean low carbon air source heat pumps in line with our net zero commitment. An application for a Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme Phase 3b grant has been made, to meet part of the costs of the works, with a decision to award anticipated by 31 March 2023.
