Green Schools with Enigin PLC

Green Schools

CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION, sustainability and cutting energy costs are a concern across every department of a school or college. It affects budgets, concerns for the long-term life chances of the pupils and also impacts on the curriculum with a requirement for sustainability lessons.

Enigin plc, a south-west based company, have the ideal answer for educational establishments with their EnergyMaps solution.

EnergyMaps combines a myriad of proven energy efficient strategies into one simple, easy to follow program. It's designed to help schools deliver on their sustainability aspirations - without adding to their workload burden.

At its core is a unique energy monitoring system - Eniscope. An Eniscope makes energy consumption visible in real-time, so you see what you are using as you use it. It allows you to pinpoint the consumption of individual pieces of equipment and eliminate energy leaks that would otherwise go unnoticed. Information is displayed in an energy dashboard which is easy to access (over a network and the internet) and, most crucially, easy to understand.

But the benefits don't end with cost and carbon reduction. Having real-time energy data accessible on the network and the internet allows pupils and teaching staff to actively participate in energy conservation. What's more EnergyMaps can be tailored to help schools achieve the internationally recognised Green Flag Award from Eco-schools www.eco-schools.org.uk

Our holistic approach ensures that EnergyMaps users get everything they need in one complete package - incentivised awareness training, comprehensive energy audits and specific technology recommendations which are installed on a pay-as-you-save basis and backed by a performance guarantee.

Bursar Chooses Easy Route to Energy Savings & Carbon Reduction

Paul Ellis, like every other school bursar, is battling to use funds efficiently. So in the face of growing pressure to cut costs, reduce carbon emissions and move towards a sustainable future he signed up to the turn-key energy saving program from Enigin PLC - EnergyMaps.

Since Paul Ellis chose the EnergyMaps route for John Kittow Community College, real-time energy monitoring has proven to be an invaluable tool:

"I don't have the time to go round regularly to take meter readings, for example, so having something on my PC that I can look at when I do have a free five minutes is hugely beneficial. It will save me a considerable amount of time, the school a considerable amount of money and reduce our Carbon Footprint as well."

Eniscope has helped Paul to identify immediate opportunities for savings:

Our base usage for each day is running at 30 plus kilowatt hours and I am confident that we can reduce that by a third or even a half, which would save a phenomenal amount of energy throughout a year."

Is EnergyMaps something your school would benefit from? Paul Ellis put it nicely:

"It's something I would recommend to all"
