We looked at our Gas and Electricity use and decided we need to do more especially to reduce the base load over night, We were shocked to learn that we could save £7500 by reducing the baseload. Dosbarth Swallows decided we will look into what is being left on over night and meet with the caretaker. We looked at our current target. We saw we are not on target for reducing our electricty, We decided to keep the target the same but to look at the usage more often and check what activities we can do to ensure we reach our target by this time next year. Mrs Taylor will take our findings to the Green Team's next meeting.
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!
