Reminders

We are currently showing electricity data for the Main College electricity meter only. The boathouse and chapel meters are not providing data to Energy Sparks but these are very small supplies compared to the main electricity meter. Your gas meter does not have AMR which means that we are unable to receive any gas data. We would suggest that you contact your supplier to ask for a meter upgrade to allow for data to be displayed on your Energy Sparks dashboard.

Last week the school's electricity baseload was 11% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £7,100 more over the next year.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 65 kW in the winter to 40 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 £7,900 annually.
