Wireless infrastructure in schools provides network access via wireless access points (APs), which are often visible on walls or ceilings in classrooms and corridors.

These systems are rarely configured for energy efficiency and will often run 24 hours a day, all year round. Modern wireless systems often include options to reduce power or schedule downtime outside school hours.

Speak with your IT support team to explore options for powering down or reducing output overnight, at weekends, and during school holidays, while ensuring essential network services remain available. Implementing these measures can save energy, reduce costs, and lower carbon emissions.
