Unfortunately you are not meeting your target to reduce your electricity usage

Review progress

Well done, you are making progress towards achieving your target to reduce your gas usage!

Review progress

Last weekend 1,300 kWh of gas was used costing £100. Switch off the heating at the weekend to save energy!

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 42 kW in the winter to 26 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 £6,300 annually.
