As the cold weather creeps upon us, I have looked in depth at our boiler settings, in particular the timmer controls. Historically the boilers and control system were monitored by the local council and any changes to the temperature set points and timings were made by engineers. Today I have addressed the high temperature set points which were extremely high and also the on/off heating times. The heating was set to remain on long after the majority of staff and pupils had left for the evening. By adjusting these settings and then monitoring them I hope to reduce our heating costs without compromising the environmental working conditions.
