Act on energy usage

Holidays are almost here! Last year Prendergast Primary School used £140 of gas and £290 of electricity in the Summer half term holidays. Can the school reduce its consumption this year?

Prendergast Primary School's electricity use over the last year was 160,000 kWh and generated 30,000 kg CO2. This is high. Other schools with the same number of pupils use 100,000 kWh. If the school matches this level it would save £8,700 each year.

Over the last year 70% of Prendergast Primary School's gas was used when the school was closed. This has cost £4,300. Reducing out of hours gas use is one of the easiest, and cheapest ways of saving lots of energy. Reducing the school's out of hours usage to 30% would save £2,400 per year.
