Review progress

Last week the school's electricity baseload was 42% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £1,500 more over the next year.

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 4.1 kW in the winter to 1.5 kW in the summer. This suggests heating is left running overnight during the winter. This can either be electric heating, or other types of heating that requires electricity for pumps or fans. Change heating settings to save £1,000 annually.
