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

Watch out! Up to Friday 27 Dec 2024 the school used 990 kWh of electricity during this holiday, which has cost £360 and generated 110 kg CO2. Make sure lights and electrical equipment are switched off to prevent further waste.

If you choose to leave electrical equipment running, by the end of the holidays you will have used 2,200 kWh, costing £810 and generating 240 kg CO2.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 11 kW in the winter to 5.2 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 £2,400 annually.
