New sports and activity flooring can cut school energy costs by up to 70%.
A recent article in Contract Flooring Journal highlighted new embodied carbon targets for school buildings, including a maximum embodied carbon figure of 550kg CO2e/m² across 200 new schools planned in England over the next five years.
One of the big conversations within the article was around long lifespan materials and biogenic carbon storage through timber flooring.
