Abstract
With the goal of transitioning to net zero carbon buildings, school buildings are in urgent need of cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions to improve building performance, for which the UK Department for Education (DfE) has set up different school rebuilding and refurbishment programmes. The aim of this paper is to understand the recent energy use characteristics of primary and secondary school buildings constructed under the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) and Priority School Building Programme (PSBP) and the trends in energy use between 2018 and 2023 by statistically analysing Display Energy Certificate (DEC) data. Subsequently, a school building was selected from a cluster of school stock with relatively higher energy performance as a case study for building performance modelling. Multiple scenario tests were identified to investigate the feasibility of further improving the energy performance of school buildings.
