Action Builder is a powerful new platform that helps schools, trusts and estates take meaningful, joined-up action on their buildings. At its heart is decarbonisation — but it also supports wider sustainability goals, from biodiversity and comfort to energy, compliance, curriculum and community engagement.
Developed by RAFT and supported by Ashden, Action Builder is designed to make progress easier: helping users understand their buildings, prioritise action, unlock funding, and connect delivery with learning. It brings together the people, the data and the strategy needed to turn ambition into impact.
We’re preparing to launch and will be rolling out gradually during 2025, starting with early adopters and supported pilots. We'd love you to be part of it.

research, validate and make informed decisions
plan develop and manage projects
track and report on progress
optimise funding opportunities
share and engage with their communities throughout
RAFT is one of five organisations across the UK that will receive £100,000 to boost green measures and reduce carbon emissions in schools. RAFT will use the £100,000 grant over the coming year to develop the Zero Carbon Action Builder - an accessible, easy-to-use and scalable platform to help UK schools to act now towards efficient, zero carbon buildings.
“We are absolutely delighted to have been selected by Ashden LetsGoZero, as one of the vital projects they feel will most make a difference in helping schools in their ambitious and challenging decarbonisation journeys”
Other winners include: Eco-Schools: Count Your Carbon Playground; Shropshire Good Food Partnership: School Food Web Climate Action; Students Organising for Sustainability (SOS-UK): Fund The Future, Teach The Future; and Brighton & Hove City Council: Our Schools Our World.
The announcement by Let’s Go Zero – the campaign uniting schools across the UK to be zero carbon by 2030 – comes as schools are being given a higher focus by policymakers for being ‘the change we want to see’ in communities finding ways to be more energy efficient, nature-friendly and on the road to zero carbon.
