Energy savings for the education sector: How schools & colleges can benefit from low cost cloud-based building energy management
WHITE PAPER
Cloud-based energy management
Some schools have reported rises in energy bills of more than 300% in the last 12 months. To support the education sector in its quest for energy savings, Priva UK is encouraging schools and colleges to take advantage of the DfE’s recent £500 million (total) Energy Efficiency Grant scheme (made available to English schools).
A very small percentage of a School or College’s DfE grant funds will cover the set-up to a move to cloud-based building management. By moving to a cloud-based BEMs system, using a low-cost subscription-model, schools and colleges can save enjoy savings on energy bills and easier, more effective energy management.
90% schools in England will have run out of money by the next school year as the enormous burden of increased energy and salary bills takes its toll
