Description
Replacement of single-glazed windows and external doors at Avondale Primary School. The existing windows at the school are outdated and contribute to substantial heat loss and rising energy bills. Replacing them with high-performance double-glazed units will enhance thermal efficiency, improve internal comfort, and reduce operational costs. The works form part of the Council’s broader decarbonisation efforts and directly support strategic commitments, including the Net Zero 2040 target, the UK Climate Change Act 2008, the RBKC Climate Emergency Declaration, and the London Plan on sustainability and low-carbon development.
