Reminders

Please note that your school has used a biomass boiler in the past and we are unable to display this energy usage on Energy Sparks. We are displaying the data for the school's two gas meters. The gas is a back-up if the biomass boiler isn't working or is running low on pellets. The school switches off the biomass boiler at the end of April and the school uses the mains gas supply to heat the school's hot water during the warmer months as it is more efficient than using the biomass boiler.
