Act on energy usage

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

Review progress

Holidays are almost here! Last year The Durham Federation used £160 of gas and £570 of electricity in the Summer half term holidays. Can the school reduce its consumption this year?

The Durham Federation's electricity use over the last year was 260,000 kWh and generated 50,000 kg CO2. This is high. Other schools with the same number of pupils use 120,000 kWh. If the school matches this level it would save £21,000 each year.

Over the last year 65% of The Durham Federation's gas was used when the school was closed. This has cost £11,000. Reducing out of hours gas use is one of the easiest, and cheapest ways of saving lots of energy. Reducing the school's out of hours usage to 30% would save £5,700 per year.
