Energy Sparks provides a school-specific energy management tool that focuses on education, energy saving, and carbon reduction. It’s designed to help schools understand and reduce energy use while engaging students and staff in developing energy and carbon reduction life skills.
Energy Sparks is designed for pupils, teachers, site managers, and school leadership. It provides
analysis of gas and electricity use, energy saving action prompts, benchmarking and energy saving priorities via pupil and staff dashboards and weekly alert emails.
Our analysis incorporates school opening times, term dates and temperature data, providing insights into out-of-hours energy saving opportunities, thermostatic control and building performance.
Energy Sparks includes
curriculum-linked resources and student-led investigations, and recommends which you should prioritise based on your school’s energy data. With Energy Sparks, you can empower your pupils to play a meaningful part in fighting climate change by reducing the school’s carbon footprint.
Most Energy Sparks accounts are
publicly visible, allowing all interested pupils, staff and other stakeholders to engage with the energy data, recommendations and activities to maximise energy saving impact.
By contrast, supplier Portals are primarily used for billing, contract management, and basic energy usage data. They are focused on account management, not behaviour change or education. They also require a password for access, limiting engagement.
