Sustainability and net zero
Energy, decarbonisation, and the estate's digital position held as working records. Meters, consumption, and renewable installations sit on an energy dashboard that also holds the nominated sustainability lead role open as a governance gap while it is vacant; a decarbonisation register tracks initiatives with estimated carbon and cost savings; and participation in the DfE's National Education Nature Park programme is recorded alongside a digital technology register and BIM maturity self-assessment.
What is in this area
Climate Action
Decarbonisation initiative register: type, estimated carbon and cost savings, progress, status, and target dates; estate dashboard and export
Energy Overview
Energy and utilities dashboard: active meters, renewable capacity, consumption and cost year to date, renewable installation register. Surfaces the nominated sustainability lead role and holds an open governance gap while it is vacant
Nature Park
Participation record for the DfE National Education Nature Park programme: status, joined date, next reporting date, notes
Digital and BIM
Digital technology register (vendor, category, integration status, annual cost, contract end) and a BIM maturity self-assessment with digital strategy status

The National Education Nature Park participation record is a DfE programme held as a working record, not a generic sustainability note.
A vacant sustainability lead is a live governance gap, not an empty field.
Where intelligence assists in this area
Energy Anomalies. Consumption deviations flagged by a weather and occupancy normalised detector, each with a plain language explanation and an acknowledge workflow. The system drafts or flags; a named person reviews and decides; nothing stands until they do.
The whole intelligence family, and how every member of it works the same way, is gathered on the capabilities overview.
What does the energy dashboard hold?
Active meters, renewable capacity, consumption and cost year to date, and the renewable installation register. The dashboard also surfaces the nominated sustainability lead role, and holds an open governance gap while that role is vacant.
How are decarbonisation plans tracked?
In the climate action register: each initiative carries its type, estimated carbon and cost savings, progress, status, and target dates, with an estate dashboard and export.
Does the platform cover the DfE's National Education Nature Park?
Yes. Participation in the programme is held as a working record: status, joined date, next reporting date, and notes. A digital technology register and a BIM maturity self-assessment with digital strategy status sit alongside it.
A vacant sustainability lead is a live governance gap on the same register that holds the rest of governance to account, in Governance and board assurance. Governance and board assurance
