Well done, you are making progress towards achieving your target to reduce your gas usage!

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 105 kW in the winter to 74.9 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. Change heating settings to save £12,100 annually.
