Heron Hall Academy Activity

The school has set an energy reduction target. Since our central heating broke down the school has decided to join a local project run by the London Borough of Enfield called Energetik. Energy is produced from burning waste and heating water that is piped to homes nearby. The project is zero carbon and is already in use in local residences. We currently have no heating on and this new system is planned for installation in the summer holiday. Thereafter we will have a panel where we can monitor the cost energy and monetary wise. It is likely to reduce both financial cost and use of energy.

Activity description

Reducing your energy costs and carbon emissions involves careful planning. Having a stated goal is also a great way of staying focused on what you're doing. Plus meeting your target means something to celebrate - a great reason to hold a whole school assembly or talk about your fab Energy team work in the school newsletter!

When you set a target you'll get progress reports, suggestions of activities, and more detailed analysis focused on your energy reduction targets.

All you have to do is click on the set a target action prompt on the adult dashboard and have a think about what target is suggested for you. We always suggest a reduction of 5% to start with.

However you might have big ideas for how you can tackle energy waste at your school and want to aim for 10%. Or you might want to take baby steps to tackle old buildings, old equipment and lack of awareness. It's completely up to you.

Once you've set your target you'll update you on your progress month by month so make sure you check back at least once a term!

Watch this video to walk you through the process of setting up your target.
