Act on energy usage

Last year your school used 1,500 kWh of energy per pupil. This cost around £230 and generated 240 kg CO2 per pupil. What can you do to reduce your carbon footprint at school?
There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 100 kW in the winter to 56 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 £15,000 annually.
