The Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and Partnerships for Schools (PfS) are running an exciting new initiative to get Energy Display Meters provided and installed into English state-funded schools, absolutely free.
This is a fantastic tool for getting pupils and teachers excited about monitoring electricity use and actively engaging them in sustainability issues. It works by monitoring your electricity use and displaying real-time results on your school's PCs.
Along with PfS, Generation Green and British Gas, the DCSF aims to generate more awareness of energy usage amongst teachers and pupils, and an understanding of how behaviours can affect this.
