Last weekend 9,000 kWh of gas was used costing £360. Switch off the heating at the weekend to save energy!

Watch out - term time gas use has increased costing an extra £240 each week. Check whether heating thermostats are set to 18°C to save energy.

Gas use in the Spring half term 2025 holidays has increased by 150% compared to Spring half term 2024. 

Between Saturday 15 Feb 2025 and Sunday 23 Feb 2025 you used 66,000 kWh of gas at a cost of £2,600. Adjusting for changes in outside temperature, this is still an increase of 39,000 kWh and 7,100 kg CO2. Ask the school site manager to check the heating controls to reduce gas use during the school holidays.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 77 kW in the winter to 57 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 £5,100 annually.
