Reduce your energy consumption, secure the right deal and start saving today.

Energy and water is a significant proportion of non-staff costs and a major contributor to your school's carbon footprint. Buying energy can be a complex process for an individual householder, never mind for a school.  With so many different providers and tariffs available, how do you know which offers the best value?  By speaking to our specialist team, who have extensive experience in negotiating energy contracts on behalf of schools, we can take the hassle out of these negotiations by taking them off your hands completely.  We also have the advantage of group buying power in this area, thus generating discounts not normally available to individual schools. We have saved schools thousands of pounds on their annual energy spend.

Negotiating the best deal available in the market is only part of the equation. Some schools will have greater scope for savings than others but, overall, more than 20% of energy is wasted in schools and simple good housekeeping and easy to fit solutions can reduce energy bills by 20%. We can provide lots of helpful advice and guidance on finding the best energy deals in the market. More importantly we can manage you through an energy efficiency programme that will deliver tangible energy consumption reductions year on year!

Did you know?

• Reducing the temperature in a building by 1C will save 5-10% of the heating bill.
• Lighting accounts for around half of the electricity used in a school so using energy efficient lighting can deliver huge savings with little investment.
• Smart metering provides information about how much and when energy is used, helping you to understand use and how it can be saved.
• The use of ICT in schools accounts for a huge demand on energy especially due to lighting and cooling required. We have implemented significant savings in schools by introducing smart, energy efficient hard drives.
• Water provision is a monopoly, so look at how you might reduce water consumption through a free water audit which most water companies will undertake for schools.
