Eco Committee reminded us around turning the heating off during summer, we went down to the system and scheduled this to be off once the summer months hit and it has been added to our diary for turning the heating to 'off' for the summer holidays. This will be done last thing on Tuesday 21 July.
Activity description
Many schools leave the heating running well into the summer term which is not normally necessary. Often windows and doors are opened when the heating is left on, wasting more energy.
Suggested actions
Make sure radiator thermostats are turned down or off by the start of May.
Ask your caretaker or estate manager to turn off the heating system to avoid wasting energy heating hot water in long pipe runs to radiators.
Encourage pupils and staff to put on a jumper if they feel a little chilly.
Don't forget electric heaters and storage radiators particularly in outbuildings and temporary classrooms.
