We have limited energy data for your school. You can enter monthly consumption data to show progress against any targets set or observe changes in consumption over a longer period of time.

Supply historical manual readings

Last week the school's electricity baseload was 14% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £3,200 more over the next year.

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 12 kW in the winter to 8.7 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 £2,600 annually.
