This benchmark compares last year’s gas and storage heater costs per floor area (m2).
The benchmark is adjusted for regional temperatures over the last year, so that for example schools in Scotland are compared on the same terms as schools in the warmer south west of England.
For schools heated by gas, the cost includes gas used for hot water and by the school kitchen.
Schools with negative savings potential have heating consumption below that of the best schools, which is good. For schools with storage heaters, heating costs are calculated using electricity tariff prices including differential/economy-7 tariffs if schools are on such a tariff.
| School | Last year heating costs per floor area | Last year cost £ | Saving if matched exemplar school (using latest tariff) | Last year consumption kWh | Last year carbon emissions (tonnes CO2) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hall School | £14.70 | £20,600 | £13,500 | 223,000 | 40.7 |
| John Grant School | £3.30 | £14,700 | -£4,270 | 190,000 | 34.6 |
| Sheringham Woodfields School [rt] | £3.29 | £22,100 | -£6,220 | 266,000 | 48.6 |

Notes
[rt] The tariff has changed during the last year for this school. Savings are calculated using the latest tariff but other £ values are calculated using the relevant tariff at the time
In school comparisons 'last year' is defined as this year to date. | |||||
