If you are wondering how to save energy in schools, there are many things you can do.

Making all these little differences can have a positive effect on your energy bills, but by far the best thing you can do is switch energy providers, as right now you could be spending more than you need to. Do this alongside maximising your schools energy efficiency to make as much savings as possible.
