Abstract
A disaggregated (school-level) analysis of the retrofit potential of primary and secondary schools of England is presented, using data from a highly detailed database of the energy use and characteristics of the school stock. The overall carbon emissions reduction potential for the stock is explored under different packages of retrofit measures, as well as how the rollout of those measures between the present and 2050 might shape the pathways towards net zero. Even with a fixed set of assumptions about what measures are implemented and at what rate, it is shown that decisions about the deployment process can greatly affect the annual and cumulative emissions of the overall stock over the coming decades. Under certain scenarios, decisions about the criteria used to define the school retrofit order can result in a doubling of cumulative emissions by 2050, or impact whether the interim 2035 target is met.
