What is Net Zero Carbon?

Net Zero Carbon means greenhouse gas emissions are reduced as much as possible, and where they cannot be reduced any further are balanced by removing the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Mynydd Isa School – Net Zero Carbon in operation.

Myndd Isa School is currently under construction, which will be for the ages of 3-16 years old. The plans are for the school to be net zero carbon in operation, which means that all energy on site consumed will be generated through renewable energy such as roof mounted solar PV. The building is being designed to achieve BREEAM Excellent Standards.
