Tracking long term trends in your school's gas use can help you to monitor your overall progress towards reducing your gas costs and carbon emissions.
Viewing your gas use over a whole year or more can help identify any unexpected variations in your usage and do forward planning.

Consumption costs are calculated based on the unit prices of energy and do not take into account standing charges or other fees.
Tariffs may be based on MAT or Local Authority averages, or an Energy Sparks default, if your school has not provided their actual tariffs.
Consumption costs are estimated based on historic tariff information.
Future savings are estimates based on your school's latest tariff information.
Potential cost savings quoted in school comparisons, e.g. for comparable "well managed" and "exemplar" schools are also based on your school's current tariffs.
School comparisons are based on benchmarking your school against comparable schools based on the characteristics outlined below.
"Exemplar" schools represent the top 17.5% of Energy Sparks schools
"Well managed" schools represent the top 30% of Energy Sparks schools
