Saving Energy in Education

Delivering First-class Energy Saving Solutions

Reducing energy and carbon, whilst aiding concentration and productivity through enhanced comfort controls.

We work with leading universities, independent schools, and other educational facilities to deliver smart energy management solutions.

On average, energy is the second highest expenditure for schools across the UK. Inefficient, ageing building controls and systems account for up to 60% in wasted energy; money which could be spent on educational materials and equipment.

Through a range of funding options, we work with educational facilities to connect buildings to our award-winning Carbon Cloud platform. Once complete, we can monitor energy usage, identify areas for energy saving opportunities, integrate and install building systems, and maintain the long-term performance of these components.

Our Approach

Reducing energy and carbon, whilst aiding concentration and productivity through enhanced comfort controls.

Carbon Numbers is a total solution energy management partner. We believe in the future of our planet, so we help businesses manage energy consumption to reduce cost, improve the comfort of its buildings, and lower carbon emissions.

Our integrated solution includes evaluating current energy usage, installing energy-smart systems to reduce consumption, optimising buildings and performance, de-carbonising to achieve net zero carbon and finally, maintaining building performance and low energy usage.

  • We connect your buildings to the cloud

  • We run analytics to identify energy saving opportunities

  • We work with you to develop step-change energy efficiency projects

  • We decarbonise your facility and develop a clear pathway to Net Zero

  • Throughout the whole process, we ensure your school, college, or university gains accreditations and operates to ISO standards (27001 & 14001)

Award-winning Carbon Cloud Reporting

Your school or university’s energy performance is accessible via our secure, intuitive cloud-based reporting platform. It enables clients to view real-time information such as occupancy, weather data, and energy use, and provides 3-D visual representations of each classroom, lecture theatre, or other public space within a building.

Our experienced team of energy managers, analysts and engineers are remotely connected to our client’s facilities, continually monitoring real-time data and performance, and providing clear and concise weekly, monthly, and annual reports.

Award_Winning_Carbon_Cloud_Reporting

Our tailored platform allows our energy specialists to perform a range of tasks remotely, on your behalf. Whether it’s adjusting control settings, ensuring optimum building comfort levels, or identifying any issues or systems faults as soon as they occur.

The data collected is transformed into clear, actionable steps to ensure that energy saving opportunities are capitalised on, and operational performance is optimised to reduce capital expenditure.

    • QMUL Joseph Priestly Building

      The Joseph Priestley Building is home to Queen Mary University of London’s (QMUL) chemical scientists. QMUL recently invested £5.2 million into the building’s refurbishment, including a new undergraduate teaching lab to create a cutting-edge learning and teaching space.

    • Sandicliffe

      Sandicliffe is an award-winning motor group that started in 1948, with 10 dealerships across the Midlands. Working as a business partnership, both the Sandicliffe and Carbon Numbers uses an EnPC, or Energy Performance Contract. This is where the customer is best advised on how to improve their facility’s energy efficiencies, and in turn, energy conservation measures that are implemented begin to generate sufficient savings to pay for the project, making this a cost neutral process.

    • Daiwa Capital Markets Europe

      Daiwa Capital Markets Europe Limited, an award winning investment bank, has entered a 5 year Energy Performance Contract (EnPC) with Carbon Numbers The agreement will see Carbon Numbers support the City of London based Daiwa in reducing carbon emissions by 3426 mega watts and prevent 1546 tonnes of CO2 being produced with up to 18% savings to be made.
