School & Trust Compliance Pack

Helping schools and Multi-Academy Trusts simplify compliance, improve estate visibility and maximise limited resources

Speak to an expert

Managing compliance across a school or Trust estate can be complex, time-consuming and resource intensive. Zenergi’s School & Trust Compliance Pack brings together key compliance and estate performance services into one coordinated programme, helping schools and Trusts reduce complexity, improve visibility and save up to 20% compared to purchasing services individually.

This package includes:

– Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR)
– TM44 Air Conditioning Inspections
– Display Energy Certificates (DECs)

Save up to 20% compared to purchasing services individually and discover how a coordinated approach can simplify compliance, improve estate visibility and reduce pressure on internal teams.

What's included

The School & Trust Compliance Pack combines the following carefully selected services that support different aspects of compliance, reporting and estate management. Together, they help schools and Trusts reduce administrative burden, improve oversight and gain greater value than managing requirements separately.

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR)

SECR requires qualifying organisations to report annual energy consumption, carbon emissions and energy efficiency activity.

For Trusts and larger education organisations, effective reporting provides more than compliance. It creates greater visibility of estate performance, supports governance requirements and helps leadership teams make more informed decisions about energy use, efficiency and future investment priorities.

Display Energy Certificates (DECs)

Display Energy Certificates measure the actual energy performance of public buildings and provide valuable insight into how efficiently they operate.

For schools and Trusts managing multiple sites, DECs can help identify trends, benchmark performance and highlight opportunities for improvement across the wider estate.

Together, these services give MATs a practical foundation for stronger compliance management and better estate visibility.

TM44 Air Conditioning Inspections

TM44 inspections assess the efficiency and effectiveness of air conditioning systems within qualifying buildings.

Beyond meeting statutory requirements, inspections can highlight opportunities to improve system performance, reduce unnecessary energy consumption and support a more comfortable environment for pupils, colleagues and visitors.

Reduce complexity and improve control

By bringing together complementary services into one coordinated programme, schools and multi academy trusts gain greater value than purchasing services individually. Instead of managing multiple suppliers, reporting requirements and inspection schedules separately, you'll benefit from a more streamlined approach through a trusted partner.

The result is greater visibility across your estate, improved confidence in compliance activities and more time to focus on supporting pupils, staff and educational outcomes rather than administration.
