Energy efficiency is a key target for all schools in the UK, with the recent introduction of ambitious DSCF targets that all schools reduce energy consumption by 53% by 2020. In addition to Government targets, there are many other reasons why schools should want to make energy count for their students, staff and communities.
- Financial Benefits There are huge financial benefits to schools which are smart about energy - both in terms of money saved, and in the revenue that can be created - money which can be re-invested in teaching and learning.
- Educational Benefits Teaching students about climate change and energy management through active learning.
- Community Benefits Schools that are smart about energy can demonstrate to their community that they are a caring school that doesn't waste resources.
There are a number of initiatives that schools can undertake in order to make energy count, and to become smart about their energy use, including:
