We looked at the amount of gas and electricity being used in the junior school, we have set a target of reducing the amount used by 0.5, pupils and staff are all on board following on what the assembly that everyone was going to try to do their bit by turning off lights, monitors, turning the heating down or off.
Activity description
Reducing your energy costs and carbon emissions involves careful planning. Having a stated goal is also a great way of staying focused on what you're doing. Plus meeting your target means something to celebrate - a great reason to hold a whole school assembly or talk about your fab Energy team work in the school newsletter!
When you set a target you'll get progress reports, suggestions of activities, and more detailed analysis focused on your energy reduction targets.
All you have to do is click on the set a target action prompt on the adult dashboard and have a think about what target is suggested for you. We always suggest a reduction of 5% to start with.
However you might have big ideas for how you can tackle energy waste at your school and want to aim for 10%. Or you might want to take baby steps to tackle old buildings, old equipment and lack of awareness. It's completely up to you.
Once you've set your target you'll update you on your progress month by month so make sure you check back at least once a term!
