Act on energy usage

Look out! Gas use in the Summer half term holidays has increased by 99% compared to Easter. Between Saturday 27 May 2023 and Sunday 4 Jun 2023 you used 3,600 kWh of gas at a cost of £110. Adjusting for changes in outside temperature, this is an increase of £53 and 370 kg CO2 compared to the Easter holidays. Ask the school site manager to check the heating controls to reduce gas use during the school holidays.

Last year your school used 490 kWh of energy per pupil. This cost around £73 and generated 86 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 6.7 kW in the winter to 3.8 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 £1,200 annually.
