There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 1 kW in the winter to 0.53 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 £300 annually.

The storage heaters use 3,000 kWh running during the school holidays when the school is normally empty. This costs £450. At weekends the storage heaters use 240 kWh which costs £36. Check the timers to save energy.

This school uses 590 kWh of energy per pupil each year. This costs around £89 and generates 100 kg CO2 per pupil. What can you do to reduce your carbon footprint at school?
