Reminders and alerts

Reminders

Your school has four electricity meters and we are displaying the data for two meters which serve the main school and sixth form. We are not displaying the energy usage for the Cocker Building. Your school has two gas meters that serve the Sports Hall and the Sixth Form. Unfortunately is a delay in us receiving gas data from your current supplier and there are gaps in this data. The dashboard is currently displaying recent gas usage from September 2024. The main school is no longer heated by oil and we hope to be able to display gas usage from this area on your dashboard soon.

Review progress

Last week the school's electricity baseload was 13% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £4,600 more over the next year.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 39 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 £3,300 annually.
