Act on energy usage

Well done, you are making progress towards achieving your target to reduce your electricity and gas usage!

Review progress

This school uses 2,200 kWh of energy per pupil each year. This costs around £140 and generates 400 kg CO2 per pupil. What can you do to reduce your carbon footprint at school?

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 25 kW in the winter to 14 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 £1,300 annually.
