Decarbonisation in the Education Sector

Supporting Higher Education Providers on the journey to Net Zero

At LivGreen, we are committed to supporting the education sector in achieving its net zero goals by delivering high-quality, low-carbon solutions. We understand the challenges that education providers face, from funding constraints to the complexities of managing large estates. With decades of experience in the built environment and extensive expertise in the residential housing sector—working with local authorities, housing associations, and private landlords—we bring a deep understanding of large-scale retrofit programmes, funding strategies, and best practices. This cross-sector knowledge strengthens our approach, allowing us to provide additional resources to meet growing demands while ensuring every project is delivered efficiently, effectively, and with minimal disruption to daily operations.

Overcoming Challenges, Minimising Disruption

We know that implementing decarbonisation measures while maintaining daily operations can be challenging. That’s why we take a carefully planned approach, ensuring minimal disruption to students, staff, and the wider campus. We work flexibly—scheduling works outside of core teaching hours, during holidays, or in phased programmes to ensure smooth project delivery.

We are experts at:

Working to tight deadlines: We understand the importance of strict academic schedules and ensure all works are completed efficiently without compromising on quality.
Minimising disruption: Our teams plan and coordinate projects to avoid interfering with day-to-day activities, working discreetly and flexibly around students and staff.
Delivering tailored solutions: Every institution and residential community is different, which is why we design decarbonisation plans that align with specific estate challenges and sustainability goals.
