Trinity School in Newbury partnered with Zenergi to achieve just that. The school aimed to reduce energy costs, freeing up funds to accelerate its net zero ambitions and enhance the student experience. By prioritising efficiency and sustainability, we identified impactful, cost-saving and carbon-reducing projects, including a transformative LED lighting upgrade.
Zenergi assessed Trinity School’s opportunities for energy-saving across the site. We identified several projects to cut costs and carbon emissions and collated our findings, estimated costs, predicted revenue generation and carbon-savings and presented it to the school’s key stakeholders.
The board was keen to explore an LED lighting upgrade, so we got to work recommending trusted installers and delivering a comprehensive plan. The upgrade aimed to cut energy bills, reduce maintenance costs and even create new revenue opportunities from outdoor sports lighting.
Zenergi’s team helped us to start implementing our ambitious plan to reduce energy usage and carbon emissions. We really value Zenergi’s experience, they always provided us with an excellent service and worked with the school’s stakeholders to ensure the work fully met the school’s needs.

Our plan was approved and we quickly made it a reality. The switch to LED lighting is a step toward a greener, more sustainable future for Trinity School and its students.
With an estimated annual carbon saving of 50 tCO₂e, the project significantly reduces the school’s environmental footprint. Plus, with LED lighting expected to last for 67,000 hours (roughly 22 school years), Trinity School invested in a solution that delivers long-term savings and reduced maintenance costs.
We also laid the groundwork for future projects, from solar panels to EV charging, setting the school up for continued success on its net zero journey.
And this is just the beginning. With a roadmap for further energy efficiency projects, Trinity School is on track to save even more.
