Adjusting for changes in outside temperature, this is still an increase of 10,000 kWh and 1,900 kg CO2. Ask the school site manager to check the heating controls to reduce gas use during the school holidays.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 47 kW in the winter to 32 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 £8,700 annually.
