Last week's Children's Plan set an ambition for all new school buildings to be zero carbon by 2016, and announced the appointment of a taskforce to advise on how to achieve this ambition. I will set out the details of the membership and remit of the taskforce in the new year.
In the meantime, we are taking action now to reduce carbon emissions in new school buildings while we work towards the zero carbon goal. I am announcing today details of 200 or so projects that we expect to benefit from an additional investment of £1l0 million over the next three years, with the intention of reducing carbon emissions by around 60 per cent. This provides an additional £50 per m² (about £500 k for the average secondary school) to invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy measures on school sites.
