Unfortunately you are not meeting your target to reduce your gas usage

Review progress
There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 10.3 kW in the winter to 5.41 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 £814 annually.
