Review progress

Last week the school's electricity baseload was 47% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £23,000 more over the next year.

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 £5,800 annually.
