Testimonial by Site Manager: Mr Francis McAleer

 

I have been able to obtain some more data regarding the Schools electricity usage. 

On Monday 22nd April 2024 the School used 10.5% less electricity saving the School using 51.5Kwh less off electricity.

 

The electricity used for the School was:

Monday 15th April 499Kwh

Monday 22nd April 442Kwh

Monday 29th April 488Kwh

 

Well done.

 

 

 

Ryvers School energy certificate

for September 2023 – September 2024.  

This certificate gives the School an operational energy rating.

Our rating this year is 52 C, which is a improvement on the previous 2 years when our energy rating  was 64 C and 74 C.

The lower the number the better the building is at using energy.  

In the last year the Schools carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were reduced by 25 tonnes, which is fantastic.
