School Comparison Tool for Pembrokeshire

This tool allows you to compare the energy performance of a number of schools within a Local Authority group or across the whole of Energy Sparks. The aim is to allow you to identify the best and worst performing schools to provide examples of best practice and to identify the schools needing the most support to improve their energy management. You can compare schools against a range of different benchmarks, choosing from the list below:
