Act on energy usage

Holidays are almost here! Last year Durham Sixth Form Centre used £20 of gas and £620 of electricity in the Summer half term holidays. Can the school reduce its consumption this year?

Over the last year 74% of Durham Sixth Form Centre's gas was used when the school was closed. This has cost £12,000. Reducing out of hours gas use is one of the easiest, and cheapest ways of saving lots of energy. Reducing the school's out of hours usage to 30% would save £7,400 per year.

Over the last year Durham Sixth Form Centre's gas use was 560,000 kWh and generated 120,000 kg CO2. This is too high. Other schools of a similar size use 520,000 kWh. Match these schools and save £2,400!
