Recent alerts
Well done, you are making progress towards achieving your target to reduce your gas usage!
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.
Hey Team! - The amount of electricity your school uses overnight is high. Over the last year you used on average 3.1 kW. In other schools like yours (similar number of pupils), this baseload is 2 kW. Can you bring your baseload down, and save the school £2,200?
Your school's electricity use over the last year was 57,000 kWh and generated 7,000 kg CO2. This is too high. Other schools with a similar number of pupils use 54,000 kWh. Reducing your electricity use to match this level would save you £610. What can you do to help?
