Energy cost and carbon reduction for education
Identify where energy is being wasted, what it's costing you, and what to do about it, in 30 days, at no cost.
37-41%of energy spend typically wasted in education
No cost. No obligation. Limited availability.
Energy challenges in education
Education estates, from schools to large multi-building campuses, combine ageing infrastructure with complex usage patterns driven by term times, room utilisation, and 24/7 systems.
Energy is a significant operating cost, and reducing it is increasingly tied to net-zero commitments and constrained budgets.
- Variable demand by term, day, and time of day
- Mixed-age buildings and varied controls
- Multiple buildings, often centrally managed
- Limited visibility of building-by-building performance
Where energy waste typically occurs
- Heating and ventilation running outside required hours
- Lighting and equipment left on out of hours
- Variation in performance across similar buildings
- Limited understanding of building-level usage
- Difficulty identifying anomalies and waste
- Data that doesn't translate into clear action
- Billing accuracy across multiple meters
- Energy contracts not aligned with usage profile
- Costs not actively optimised
- Capital projects committed without baseline visibility
- Lower-cost operational improvements missed
- Projects that under-deliver against business case
How we identify and prioritise opportunities
Using our data-led approach, we:
- Analyse energy usage across the estate and over time
- Identify patterns, anomalies, and inefficiencies by building
- Highlight where energy is potentially being wasted
- Prioritise actions based on cost, carbon, and operational impact
This ensures improvements are identified without impacting teaching, research, or the student experience.
Proven results in education
Multi-building campus
An education estate with high overall energy spend and limited visibility of how performance varied between buildings.
Multi-Site Organisation, Portfolio Analysis
An organisation operating across multiple sites with high overall energy spend but limited visibility of how performance varied across locations.
What this typically delivers
Reduced energy costs across the estate
Lower carbon emissions in line with net-zero targets
Improved operational efficiency
Better-informed capital investment decisions
Education estates frequently uncover meaningful opportunities that can be acted on without disruption.
