Quick update on sustainability at New College Swindon We have installed Solar panels across our Queens Drive and North Star campuses, providing 20% of energy required. We have planted more than 300 trees across our North Star Campus and Swindon and Wiltshire Institute of Technology, as well as LED lighting upgrades across the entire estate and as a result 166 tons of carbon have been saved between 2023 and 2024. We are looking forward to providing further updates as our sustainability journey continues! #sustainability #ncstransformation #greentechnology

📢 New #policy report on accelerating Zero-emission buildings and #neighbourhoods! We’re excited to announce the release of a policy recommendation report, developed with insights from eight European projects. #synikia has contributed through its angle of Sustainable Plus Energy Neighbourhoods (#SPEN) and the strength of #socialhousing, while these other projects also strive to highlight the importance of affordable and inclusive solutions, the benefits of energy-efficient solutions, and the potential of scaling up. Focused on speeding up the transformation of Europe’s buildings to zero-emission standards by 2050, the paper addresses key financial strategies to overcome barriers to sustainable building renovation.🏘️ The recommendations span 10 pivotal actions, with the main themes being: 💸 Accessible subsidies for easy financial support access 🎯 Prioritizing public funds for low-income households 🔄 Blending public & private funding to scale efforts 🤝 Fostering community initiatives for stronger impact Together, these policies aim to create a #sustainable, zero-emission future for all!
