The United Kingdom's (UK) 2008 Budget announced the government's ambition that all new non-domestic buildings should be zero carbon from 2016. In order to take this goal forward, the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) established the Zero Carbon Task Force (ZCTF); its objective was to advise on how England can achieve this ambition for new school buildings, to develop a roadmap to zero carbon and make recommendations for its implementation. It was also tasked to oversee exemplar projects in order to increase knowledge and understanding of energy use in school buildings. Montgomery Primary School, a 420-pupil facility, is the UK's first "zero carbon" in use and "climate-change-ready" exemplar school built to the Passivhaus standard. Its design and solar generating electrical power plant enable its electricity bill to be zero each year.
