Things to do
Hey Team! - The amount of electricity your school uses overnight is high. Over the last year you used on average 3.3 kW. In other schools like yours (similar number of pupils), this baseload is 1.9 kW. Can you bring your baseload down, and save the school £1,800?
Whoa - last week the amount of electricity you use overnight increased. If this keeps happening it will cost you £610 more over the next year. Time to investigate, Energy Team!
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
