Optimising energy efficiency in schools – a quick recap

Is your school spending more on energy than necessary?

Energy efficiency is more than just an environmental commitment – it’s a smart financial strategy.

Our expert Chris Jermy shares how small adjustments can make a big difference. Key takeaways include:

Monitor energy use: Smart meters and energy tracking tools help identify wastage and opportunities to cut costs
Implement quick wins: Lower heating by 1°C, upgrade to LED lighting, and optimise ventilation for immediate savings
Conduct a weekly energy walkaround: Spot inefficiencies, reduce waste, and engage students and staff in energy-saving initiatives
Prepare for upcoming changes: From April 2027, all electricity meters must be half-hourly – act now to get ahead of regulations and benefit from improved tracking

Ready to take action?
