Things to do
Hey Team! - The amount of electricity your school uses overnight is high. Over the last year you used on average 18 kW. In other schools like yours (similar number of pupils), this baseload is 15 kW. Can you bring your baseload down, and save the school £6,100?
Over the last year 61% of your electricity was used when the school was closed. What are those teachers getting up to out of hours?? This has cost the school £34,000. Time to take action!
Measure classroom temperatures to find out whether you should turn down the heating to save energy
Start a transport survey so that you can find out how much carbon your school community generates by travelling to school
