The Energy Display Meter Programme
• Recommendation of the Zero Carbon Taskforce
• DCSF (now DfE) funded £12m programme for English state schools
• Target - real time electricity use• Aim to inform, educate and empower
schools to make informed decisions to assist energy and carbon reduction
3
The Carbon Agenda in Schools
• Schools emit 2% of UK carbon equivalent• Schools emissions from energy use grew
24% 1990 – 2006• Schools have to achieve 53% reduction in
emissions by 2020• Contribute £50m of £300m public sector
energy savings in 2012

Why British Gas?
• Smart meter experts – 55,000 installs • National coverage• Complementary industry leading
educational programme in Generation Green
• Energy Services business

Bespoke Education Resources
• Primary (Key Stage 2) and Secondary (Key Stage 3+4) resources
• Lesson plans designed for use with the Energy Display Meter in the classroom
• All created by education specialists and tested by teachers
• Designed to help pupils be force for change in their school
10
Key Stage 2
Pupils aged 7 to 11 years become Energy Detectives developing and using survey, data handling and active citizenship skills to solve a real life issue by:-
– Finding out how much electricity their school uses
– Analysing and identifying areas of wastage– Creating and implementing a ‘Cut the
Carbon’ action plan
11
Key Stage 3
Students aged 11 to 14 years will explore the concept of energy efficiency through learning outcomes in Science by:-
– Investigating carbon footprints– Testing the energy efficiency of everyday
appliances– Suggesting how their findings could help
reduce their school’s carbon footprint
12
Key Stage 4
Students aged 14 to 16 years will use their Energy Display Meter data to support their Data Analysis coursework for GCSE Mathematics. Once completed, their data analysis booklets provide evidence for reflection and awareness raising on how their findings could be used to effect real energy savings in school.
