Congratulations on completing the energy essentials mini journey!

By mapping your data and prioritising tasks, you now have a clear list of energy actions to track.

Make sure you capture your work in your Climate Action Plan.

Next steps

Measure and report to demonstrate impact

Don’t let your hard work go unnoticed.

  • Compare your progress against your original ‘baseline’ data
  • Record how you’ve improved
  • Share your wins with your governors and estates team

Build into annual processes

  • Embed these actions and reviews into an annual energy audit
  • Reviewing your baseline every year will keep wasteful habits creeping in

Tip: Use this as an opportunity to review any opportunities you spotted when gathering data that you didn’t have capacity for before.

Spread the word

Shout about the energy achievements you’ve made

  • With governors - share what improved, costs saved and the impact you made
  • With learners - share energy updates in assemblies and praise good energy habits learners exhibit
  • With parents - include an update about the amount of carbon saved in your newsletter
  • With the sector - share what worked well to inspire others

Congratulations!

You've completed the energy mini journey!
