Potential savings

Back to top

Schools are benchmarked with comparable schools based on several key characteristics including floor area, location, pupil numbers and type.

The following table summarises how we have benchmarked each school in your group according to its baseload.

The savings for each school are based on reducing their baseload to match those of an Exemplar school with similar characteristics.

How did we calculate these figures?

The following table provides a more detailed breakdown of the baseload per pupil for each school. The analysis is based on the latest 12 months of data for each school.

The table provides an indication of the costs of using electricity to keep appliances running all the time based on the current tariffs for each school. Saving are based on estimating the reduces costs if each school reduced its baseload to match the best performing schools on Energy Sparks, adjusting for pupil numbers.

How have we analysed your data?

School characteristics

Our analysis takes into account a range of characteristics for each school, including its floor area, location, pupil numbers and type.

Cost calculations

Consumption costs are calculated based on the unit prices of energy and do not take into account standing charges or other fees.

Tariffs may be based on MAT or Local Authority averages, or an Energy Sparks default, if your school has not provided their actual tariffs.

Consumption costs are estimated based on historic tariff information.

Future savings are estimates based on your school's latest tariff information.

Potential cost savings quoted in school comparisons, e.g. for comparable "well managed" and "exemplar" schools are also based on your school's current tariffs.

School comparisons

Comparisons are based on benchmarking a school against a comparable school based on the characteristics outlined above.

"Exemplar" schools represent the top 17.5% of Energy Sparks schools

"Well managed" schools represent the top 30% of Energy Sparks schools

Potential savings are based on a school reducing its usage to match those of an Exemplar school with similar characteristics.
