Energy Management Systems for Schools Pilot Prior Information Notice

Energy Management Systems for Schools Pilot Schools spend around £630m per annum on energy and collectively, they have a significant carbon footprint, over a fifth of the whole public sector. The Schools Commercial Team (SCT) believe that by developing evidence-based solutions that meet schools needs there is a significant opportunity to reduce utility demand and deliver savings for the sector as well as provide energy efficiency opportunities. Objective: This pilot will provide insight into the effectiveness of the best form of energy management intervention package based on data analytics using Smart Meter or Automated Meter Reading (AMR) meter data from a school's own estate. This should lead to an increase in energy savings for schools, behavioural change in sustainability both in school staff and students and learn the benefits of presentation of user-friendly formats of energy data which will be invaluable to inform future decision making.
