Throughout the year we have encouraged the school community to turn their eating down by 1 degree, we have raised awareness of this through assemblies, cut your carbon month and holding power down days. Our eco council often look at energy sparks data and meet with our premises officer to ensure that the heating only needs to be on when necessary.
Within school sustainability policy we have said:
In order to maintain suitable classroom temperatures, we will:
● maintain classroom temperatures of no higher than 18°C
● maintain hall and corridor temperatures of no higher than 15°C
● maintain a temperature no higher than 21°C in the library and infrequently used rooms
● install thermostatic controls for radiators so that they can be turned down or off if a room is too hot
