Schools & Education

The issue

• Educational establishments as well as private and public sector companies are constantly looking at ways to reduce costs, particularly in this current economic climate.
• Educational establishments can find it difficult to identify precise running costs and inefficiencies.
• In such large establishments, energy intensive equipment such as heating, lighting and air conditioning can often be over used.
• Overnight consumption can account for up to 15% of total energy costs, which translates to £3,000 of average annual spend wasted on overnight consumption alone.

The t-mac solution

• Energy reduction is one of the quickest ways to save on financial costs through focusing
  on ‘waste’ consumption.
• t-mac allows institutions to meter multi-utilities as well as sub-metering of key activity areas such as canteens, staff quarters, sports halls, car parks and flood-lit pitches.
• Providing more than just energy monitoring, the t-mac system can not only enable schools to identify key activity areas and consumption costs and also take control of equipment to reduce energy consumption and waste such as flood-lights on a hockey pitch being left on overnight.
• In addition to metering applications, the t-mac system can offer remote access to energy intensive equipment to ensure the equipment is only being used when it is required and hence eliminating inefficiencies identified through the metering strategy.
• Tweaking operations to accommodate shorter run times for air conditioning, lighting or heating, or through remote diagnostics of equipment to asses efficiencies, can help create greater energy efficiencies and ultimately reduce cost and carbon footprint.
