Heating control refers to the settings used to heat the school effectively while it is fully occupied and to minimise waste out of school hours.
Getting the heating control right for your school can save money and carbon very quickly as well as improving the learning environment for students.
If you followed our recommendations to switch your heating on later for a full year you could save £2,000.
This would reduce your gas consumption by 16%.
Our analysis shows that recently the average start time for your heating was 04:00.
Last year your school heating was on for 16 days during warm weather. This is above average.
This represents 1.7% of your annual heating consumption
Your school could reduce its gas usage by 2,200 kWh by turning its boiler off in warmer weather. For example earlier in the Spring and later in the Autumn. This would save £140 and 400 kg CO2 annually.
