Reminders

Your school has four gas meters and we are displaying the data for two meters. The data is missing for MPRN 81342902 and this meter isn't capable of sharing data with us. It needs to be upgraded. Please liaise with the central MAT team to arrange the meter upgrade. The other gas meter serves the swimming pool which no longer uses gas to heat it.

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 83 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 £16,000 annually.
