Energy costs
Description
Bridgid Nzekwu and DfES procurement expert Claire Dicks visit Coopers School in Chiselhurst. The school's energy bills have doubled in the last three years and business manager Sue Whyler isn't sure where to go to find the best deals on oil, gas and electricity. The school has a variety of different buildings heated in different ways, including old and inefficient oil-fired boilers. These should be replaced but there's no money left from the capital grant after paying for more pressing repairs to school buildings. Claire organises a visit from Tom Cumberlege of the Carbon Trust, who addresses the green agenda and suggests practical ways for a school to save energy. Can Claire come up with a plan which will help the school to conserve energy and save money?
