Curiosity over daily energy use

[rich76]

Hi all,
As part of our environmental review process I am currently working out our electrical usage on a daily basis.
This school is only 8 classrooms, hall, kitchen HT office and admin. Appro 1194 m2. Site is open 6am till 7pm daily. Current use seems to be around 21kWh per day.
Just curious if anyone else has a similar size school and wishes to share their use.
Thanks in advance

Did you measure just the hours you were open (06.00 to 19.00) or over a 24 hr period?

My site uses 209,000Kwh a year, which is about 572Kwh a day. We're open 24/7, and are about to get solar panels to be more sustainable. Sadly they will only only give us around 14% of our daily usage.

Hi, working hours. Take it as I walk in and read it when I leave

I'm nowhere near the size of your school so won't give my usage but have you looked to see if your electric company takes half hourly meter readings and can pass that over? Mine does and it's quite shocking as to how much is used overnight (and largely unavoidable)
