Look out! Gas use in the Summer holidays has increased by Infinity% compared to Summer half term. Between Saturday 20 Jul 2024 and Monday 2 Sep 2024 you used 4,400 kWh of gas at a cost of £240. Adjusting for changes in outside temperature, this is an increase of £240 and 800 kg CO2 compared to the Summer half term holidays. Ask the school site manager to check the heating controls to reduce gas use during the school holidays.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 21 kW in the winter to 10 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 £8,700 annually.
