Madley Brook Primary School

Last year your school used 510 kWh of energy per pupil. This cost around £76 and generated 91 kg CO2 per pupil. What can you do to reduce your carbon footprint at school?

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 17 kW in the winter to 11 kW in the summer. This suggests electric heating is left running overnight during the winter or the school has inefficient security or flood lights. Change electric heater settings and improve lighting efficiency to save £1,600 annually.

 Watch out - term time electricity use has increased by 2.9%, costing an extra £11 each week. Get your Energy Team on the case!
