At C3 Group, we specialise in helping schools, colleges and universities with carbon reduction plans and sustainable construction design. Whether you’re applying for Salix funding or need guidance on achieving Net Zero, we are here to support your journey to a more sustainable future.

Heat Decarbonisation Plans for Salix Funding

One of the most effective ways to secure Salix funding is by developing a comprehensive heat decarbonisation plan. At C3 Group, we create tailored plans to help educational institutions transition from traditional heating systems to low-carbon alternatives like heat pumps or solar thermal.

We start with detailed energy audits to assess the current performance of your buildings. Next, we identify opportunities for energy efficiency retrofits, such as upgrading insulation, improving heating systems, or switching to solar PV. With our expert guidance, you can develop a decarbonisation plan that meets Salix funding criteria and supports your long-term sustainability goals.

Proven Experience in Education Decarbonisation

C3 Group has a strong track record of helping educational institutions decarbonise their operations. Some examples include:

• Solar PV Installation for a University in East Yorkshire
  We are working with a university in East Yorkshire to plan and install a solar PV system, helping them reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
• Low-Carbon Lighting for a Midlands College
  We are in the planning stages for a low-carbon lighting and LED system at a Midlands college. We also offer a project management service to assist with installation.
• Net Zero Roadmap for Hull Schools with Thrive Trust
  In collaboration with Thrive Trust, we developed a Net Zero roadmap for Hull schools to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, incorporating energy-saving measures and renewable energy solutions.
• Energy Analysis for Another East Yorkshire School Trust
  We conducted an energy analysis for another local school trust, identifying ways to reduce energy consumption and recommending steps for improved efficiency and sustainability.
