Reminders

Your school has four gas meters and your school switched gas supplier on 01/10/23. Previously, we have received blank data for the gas meter which supplies the Leisure Centre which is not correct. We are looking to gain set up data access with your new supplier for all four meters. We will check this meter to see if this issue is still happening once data is available again.

It's time to choose a new programme of activities. What challenge will you take on next?

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 97 kW in the winter to 43 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 £18,000 annually.
