Energy-related best practice:

→ Monitor energy bills on a regular basis; → Carefully monitor heating to ensure the temperature is evenly distributed throughout the buildings. Minimize energy waste by avoiding, for example, having the heating on and the windows open; → Install low energy measures in the school e.g. low energy light bulbs; → Carry out an awareness raising campaign to reduce energy (e.g. switch off lights and computers when not in use); → Stick “turn it off” signs above all the light switches throughout school and conduct a campaign with the staff to ensure that lights are switched off when pupils leave the room; → Consider installing renewable energy measures (e.g. solar panel, wind turbine).
