Energy monitoring for education

Schools and colleges are empty more than they are full. The bill rarely reflects that.

Where the energy actually goes

Heating

Plant running to a timeclock set years ago, often heating buildings through mid-term and holidays.

Out-of-hours baseline

What the campus draws at 3am in August. It is almost always higher than anyone expects.

IT and server rooms

Continuous load, frequently cooled far harder than it needs to be.

Sports and catering

Intermittent, heavy, and worth scheduling against actual bookings.

What the data usually catches first

The data is also teaching material. Several of our clients put the live figures in front of students.

  • Heating running through the holidays
  • Buildings warming up hours before anyone arrives
  • Weekend load close to weekday load
  • Rooms in use out of hours that nobody billed for

Start with an audit. The SEAI pays €2,000 of it

If you spend over €10,000 a year on energy, the Support Scheme for Energy Audits covers most of the cost. An engineer walks the site and writes up what to fix and what it returns.
