A new report by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) has found that modern Schoolhaus could meet the growing demand for new school buildings while saving the DfE billions<\/h2>\n

Net Zero Buildings\u2019 <\/a>Schoolhaus\u00ae<\/sup> are new, energy efficient school buildings that can be constructed off-site<\/a> using state-of-the-art modular techniques. Their airtight construction, effective insulation and the generation of energy and revenue through solar make them the UK\u2019s most energy-efficient school buildings.<\/p>\n

Cebr\u2019s report found that, if all schools in England were as efficient and as economical to sustain as Schoolhaus\u00ae<\/sup>, it would save the Department for Education<\/a> \u00a32.6bn a year. That\u2019s almost 5% of its current annual budget.<\/p>\n

These savings are reflected over the long-term. If 2,000 new schools need to be built \u2013 as some estimates suggest \u2013 and were built as Schoolhaus\u00ae<\/sup> buildings rather than more traditional buildings, Cebr found that the annual saving from energy and operation and maintenance alone would be \u00a3349m. Over 30 years, this equates to a saving of over \u00a310bn.<\/p>\n

Neil Smith, Chief Executive Officer at Net Zero Buildings, said: \u201cWith pupil numbers forecast to grow by around 10% between now and 2026, it\u2019s clear that innovative solutions are required to ease the pressing need for new school buildings. This report shows that the government has an opportunity to meet this demand, save money and help to protect the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201c60% of current school buildings were built before 1976, using outdated and inefficient technologies. They are already struggling to meet the growing demand for new pupil places and are sapping billions from the UK\u2019s education budget. Schoolhaus\u00ae<\/sup> is a truly unique solution that shows how modern technology can meet this address this issue while saving money from the public purse at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sean Slack, an Economist at Cebr<\/a>, added: \u201cOur report shows that the Schoolhaus\u00ae<\/sup> design can provide clear economic benefits through its energy efficiency, low operation and maintenance costs and capital costs. The analysis indicates that, together, these benefits would bring value for money to the public sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report also found that a shift from a purchase to a leasing model would provide cost savings and other benefits, including reduced capital requirements, more flexibility, a simpler budgeting process, which is significant as 20-year operating leases are one of the viable funding options for new Schoolhaus\u00ae<\/sup> buildings.<\/p>\n
