Spoke to Simon Harper - premises officer about the thermostats in school.
Identified two central ones in the hall and then further ones in each classroom. As they are covered there was uncertainty as to the temperature they were all set at so Simon went around and recorded these. There were some big discrepancies between the classroom ones and these will need realigning to a ideal temperature.
Boiler does not come on in the evening, weekends or holidays - set to shut down on these days / times.
What also became apparent was that the thermostats are very old and there are questions over there accuracy - will discuss with Andy Marshall - Estates lead from the Trust to see if there is any central money to replace the 8 thermostats in the main building for newer ones.
Actions
- calibrate thermostats to the same temp across all classrooms
- look into replacing the thermostats
- discuss energy saving actions with children in assembly - turning off lights and reminding staff to turn off electrical equipment
