Schools Energy Project

In 2009/10 schools in the Bath area collectively spent more than £2.5m on gas and electricity. The Transition Bath Schools Energy Project is a voluntary effort with professional expertise aimed at reducing energy consumption in schools in the Bath area.

The project started in May 2011 and so far we have worked with 6 schools to analyse their energy usage. From our initial analysis we believe that there is an opportunity to reduce both gas and electricity consumption by an average of 30% at these schools at little or no cost. Our aim is to progressively roll out this program of energy assessment and reduction to all schools in the Bath area. Our long term vision is for schools in the Bath area to perform in line with national good practice benchmarks for energy consumption while providing a comfortable environment for both staff and pupils.

If you are interested in helping us, or are a school who would like help and advice please email us at schoolsenergy@transitionbath.org.
