Energy challenges in the education sector
Three of the biggest energy challenges for education providers include:
Energy efficiency of IT and educational equipment
In today’s digital age, IT equipment is integral to the learning experience. However, these technologies are often significant energy consumers, especially if the technology is outdated and typically less energy efficient. Data from Energy Sparks reveals that 45% of school’s electricity is consumed out of school hours.
Computers, interactive whiteboards, projectors, and other digital devices require a substantial amount of power. Investing in energy-efficient models and power management systems can help minimise your energy usage.
Catering requirements
Catering services in educational settings range from canteens to large-scale cafeterias – these facilities are major areas of energy use due to the amount of kitchen equipment, long operational hours and food storage needs.
Implementing practices such as batch cooking to reduce food waste and optimising appliance use can help contribute to waste and energy savings. On top of that, keeping kitchen equipment serviced and in good working condition can limit the amount of excess energy used in these spaces.
Condition of buildings
The physical state of education facilities plays a critical role in determining energy efficiency. Many buildings are suffering from poor insulation along with an aging infrastructure and outdated HVAC systems. This leads to increased demand for heating and cooling making educational spaces costly to run.
