After implementing improvements, it is important that the whole school community plays a part in maintaining good practices.
A working team can be assigned responsibilities to ensure monitoring procedures are established. Pupils may be carry out regular classroom checks to report on areas that are over heated or where equipment is left on unnecessarily and staff can keep an eye on the metering and bills.

By continual meter monitoring and regular energy reviews, savings can be realised and progressive targets can be set. The Sustainable Learning site provides a downloadable spreadsheet for monitoring energy usage.
| Smart meters are useful assessment tools. Simply clamped onto the main electricity cable you want to monitor, they can inform you about real-time usage and actual cost per month. Smart meters are available from 40-50 pounds. |
