Things to do
Heads up! Your school's electricity use in term time has increased by 7.2%, costing an extra £17 each week. Can you investigate why this was?
There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 3.1 kW in the winter to 1.9 kW in the summer. This suggests electric heating is left running overnight during the winter or the school has inefficient security or flood lights. Talk to the site manager to change electric heater settings and improve lighting efficiency to save £71 annually.
Measure classroom temperatures to find out whether you should turn down the heating to save energy
