Act on energy usage

Unfortunately you are not meeting your target to reduce your electricity usage
Review progress
Oh No! Average electricity use in the Summer holidays has increased by 8.6% compared to the Summer half term holidays. Your average weekly electricity consumption in the Summer holidays was 4,800 kWh compared with 4,500 kWh during the Summer half term holidays.  
What can you switch off to save energy in the next holidays?
There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 31 kW in the winter to 21 kW in the summer. This suggests electric heating is left running overnight during the winter or the school has inefficient security or flood lights. Change electric heater settings and improve lighting efficiency to save £3,800 annually.
