Reminders

Your school's recent gas data has started to lag behind. We have raised this with your supplier to investigate. Once the data has been restored, it will be made available to view on your dashboard. Your school has three gas meters and we are displaying data for one of the gas meters, MPRN 9372141402. Your supplier is unable to access the recent data for the two other meters, MPRNs 56249807 (Drama / A Block) and 7677928900, because they have communications issues. Please note that your gas supply is shared with the neighbouring school, Churchill Special School.

Watch out! Up to the school used 19,000 kWh of electricity during this holiday, which has cost £4,200 and generated 2,200 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 34,000 kWh, costing £7,500 and generating 4,000 kg CO2.

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 85 kW in the winter to 34 kW in the summer. This suggests heating is left running overnight during the winter. This can either be electric heating, or other types of heating that requires electricity for pumps or fans. Change heating settings to save £25,000 annually.
