Last year you used 9,000 kWh of gas and 4,100 kWh of electricity in the Easter 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £1,400 this year.
Last weekend gas use was 220 kWh costing about £13. Well done for minimising your weekend gas use!
Excellent! Between Saturday 15 Feb 2025 and Sunday 23 Feb 2025 you used 8,300 kWh of gas at a cost of £490. Adjusting for changes in outside temperature, this is a saving of 1,000 kWh and 180 kg CO2 compared to the same period in the holidays last year. This means your gas consumption has decreased more than expected taking account of weather changes.
Well done! Gas use over the last year of 260,000 kWh is low compared to similar schools. However, it still generated 48,000 kg CO2 and cost £22,000, what can you do to reduce it further?
There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 14 kW in the winter to 7.7 kW in the summer. This suggests electric heating is left running overnight during the winter or the school has inefficient security or flood lights. Change electric heater settings and improve lighting efficiency to save £1,400 annually.
The school's thermostatic control at 0.75 is above average. An average value for schools is 0.62 and a perfect value is 1.0. The lower the value below 1.0, the worse the school's thermostatic control.
