Look out! Gas use in the Summer holidays has increased by 460% compared to Summer half term. Between Saturday 20 Jul 2024 and Tuesday 3 Sep 2024 you used 3,700 kWh of gas at a cost of £430. Adjusting for changes in outside temperature, this is an increase of £360 and 550 kg CO2 compared to the Summer half term holidays. Ask the school site manager to check the heating controls to reduce gas use during the school holidays.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 6.1 kW in the winter to 3.5 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 £2,100 annually.
