Education Utilities

Schools can save energy and promote efficiency in a variety of ways. Lighting can be switched to LED bulbs, which consume less energy and have longer lifespans and occupancy sensors can be installed to switch off light automatically when spaces such as hallways, bathrooms and classrooms are unoccupied. Heating and cooling thermostats can be set to optimal temperatures to avoid energy waste and excessive heating or cooling. Installing smart or energy efficient equipment and appliances will save power and make sure they’re off in the evenings, weekends and holiday periods. Educating staff and students to be energy conscious in turning off lights and closing doors and windows when heating or cooling is on will save energy for the school and investing in renewable energy systems such as solar panels on roofing can create clean energy, reduce costs and also educate students at the same time.

Schools are not required to display an energy performance certificate unless the school building is being sold or rented out. However, they are encouraged to assess the energy performance of their buildings to identify areas for improvement. While it may not be a legal requirement, pursuing energy efficiency and sustainability methods aligns with the government’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability, and it can also contribute to creating an environmentally conscious learning environment.

Yes, it is what we specialise in. We have knowledge of the country’s green energy suppliers and will be more than happy to discuss how to help your educational establishment to switch to greener energy suppliers and sources.

Many school buildings in the UK have ageing infrastructure which includes outdated heating, ventilation and lighting systems which are less energy efficient and prone to breakdown. There is also a general rising in energy costs across the country and this has also impacted schools as well as businesses and domestic users. Schools are also suffering from a lack of funding in some areas which means that they haven’t been able to update their infrastructure leading to higher energy consumption to keep old systems running. Schools often have complicated energy contracts with suppliers, and these can lack flexibility or have unfavourable terms, limiting the school’s ability to adapt to changing energy prices and market conditions.
