The Schools Commercial Team (SCT) believe that by developing evidence-based solutions that meet schools needs there is a significant opportunity to reduce utility demand and deliver savings for the sector as well as provide energy efficiency opportunities. Objective: This pilot will provide insight into the effectiveness of the best form of energy management intervention package based on data analytics using Smart Meter or Automated Meter Reading (AMR) meter data from a school's own estate. This should lead to an increase in energy savings for schools, behavioral change in sustainability both in school staff and students and learn the benefits of presentation of user-friendly formats of energy data which will be invaluable to inform future decision making. Requirements: - Supply schools with a online energy dashboard which displays near real-time energy usage from a schools own smart meter or AMR - The solution should be user-friendly for school staff, teachers, and pupils to help encourage behavioral changes towards reducing energy consumption - Dashboard must provide tailored energy-saving advice on usage and no/low-cost interventions (as well as potential savings) - Able to benchmark energy performance against other similar schools - Online Dashboard must be fully developed and have been tested within a school (off the shelf product). - Able to provide individual classroom monitoring to help schools understand where the most energy is being consumed so an action plan can be developed - Commitment to providing ongoing advice, support and guidance to schools for the duration of the pilot - Provide assemblies, workshops and learning resources to educate staff, teachers and pupils on energy and climate change - Previous track record of positive engagement with schools.
