Reminders

Your school has five gas meters and we have access to the data for the two meters which serve the main school and the Secole building. The three other gas meters aren't capable of sharing data with Energy Sparks and they need to be upgraded. Therefore, please keep in mind that your account doesn't show your school's total gas usage yet. Your school has four electricity meters and the meter which serves the Site and IT offices isn't capable of sharing data with us.

Oh No! Average electricity use in the Summer holidays has increased by 9.5% compared to the Summer half term holidays. Your average weekly electricity consumption in the Summer holidays was 2,600 kWh compared with 2,400 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 18 kW in the winter to 13 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 £2,000 annually.
