Oundle School
Monitoring and Targeting
Oundle School is made up of buildings dating from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century which are dispersed throughout the town. It is an ideal candidate for energy saving potential because of its historic buildings and remote energy analysis due to its split site.
The staff are well aware that proactive energy management is just as important in the school environment as in the office. They enlisted our help to install meters in all of their boarding houses to gain real-time energy usage data. This provides the School with accurate and timely analysis of energy consumption, costs and carbon.
Intelligent buildings delivering powerful insight
Using our software, the School are able to identify consumption patterns and opportunities for energy reductions. They have also installed Smart.Dash – our energy saving dashboard and the UK’s first with a dedicated twitter feed.
The responsive web application technology will change the management of buildings through interactive social media based software. It is designed to enhance energy saving opportunities and encourage active energy awareness from the energy manager along with staff, pupils and even former pupils – ‘Old- Oundelians’.
Using Smart.Dash, the School can now analyse and quantify its electricity consumption, understand the amount that each boarding house uses and rectify any problems promptly.
These energy and cost savings are all demonstrated via our highly visual interactive dashboard which showcases energy saving in real-time on any screen display such as laptops, tablets or mobile phones. We also provide an interactive tool for proactive maintenance and management by site staff.
“Oundle School believes that protection of the environment is an integral part of good institutional and educational practice. We are committed to minimising our impact on and improving the quality of the environment, both now and in the future. We seek to engage all members of the school community to develop an ecologically sound approach to their work and activities so as to help us achieve our aims.”
