Unfortunately you are not meeting your target to reduce your gas usage

Review progress

We have limited energy data for your school. You can enter monthly consumption data to show progress against any targets set or observe changes in consumption over a longer period of time.

Supply historical manual readings

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 3.8 kW in the winter to 1.5 kW in the summer. This suggests heating is left running overnight during the winter. This can either be electric heating, or other types of heating that requires electricity for pumps or fans. Talk to the site manager to change heating settings to save £840 annually. 

Find out more

Ask your head teacher to install solar panels on the school roof and you could save an average of £4,800 each year off your electricity bill.
