Benchmarking
Here are 3 online tools to help you benchmark your organisation’s energy consumption and/or efficiency:
Calculate the energy performance of a building periodically, such as once a year, and compare it against benchmarks for similar buildings within the Government's Estate.
Calculate a benchmark based on the type of office space, number of workstations and standard occupancy. You can also benchmark against more specific building-criteria, including: working hours, catering, vending and IT equipment.
Compare your school’s energy use against the typical energy consumption for UK schools. Also provides useful advice on how to reduce energy consumption and costs. Note - Schools can use this tool to compare against typical benchmark data, but the full version is only accessible to Local Education Authorities Officers.
