At Grayling Thomas Architects, we offer expert support for schools seeking to secure Salix funding for energy efficiency projects. Our team provides end-to-end guidance on navigating Salix energy grant schemes, helping schools unlock government-backed capital to improve building performance and reduce carbon emissions.

​

We work in partnership with Salix-accredited energy consultants to conduct in-depth school energy efficiency appraisals. These assessments identify areas of high energy loss, such as outdated boilers, inefficient lighting, poor insulation, or inadequate controls and generate a prioritised plan for upgrades that align with current Salix funding eligibility criteria.

​

Following the appraisal, we produce Salix-compliant lifecycle costings that demonstrate long-term value through reduced operational costs and environmental impact. This transparent financial modelling increases the likelihood of funding approval, and ensures that the upgrades deliver meaningful energy and cost savings over time.

​

Whether the project involves low-carbon heating systems, solar PV installation, LED lighting upgrades, or building fabric improvements, we ensure all measures are fully tailored to meet Salix funding requirements for schools.

​

Throughout the process, we work closely with school business managers, headteachers, and estates teams- offering clear, practical advice and overseeing the entire journey from Salix funding application through to project delivery. Our experienced architects and technical team ensure all proposals are designed to meet DfE, Salix, and ESFA compliance standards, while maximising both funding potential and long-term sustainability outcomes.
