Case Study: St. Faith’s School achieves major energy savings with Optimal Monitoring

How an independent preparatory school is demonstrating excellence in achievement when it comes to increasing energy efficiency and reducing cost and waste

St. Faith’s School, an independent preparatory school in Cambridge, sought sustainable solutions to increase energy efficiency and reduce its costs and carbon footprint. The school engaged Optimal Monitoring to implement its energy monitoring, analytics, and reporting software as an information tool to enable smarter decisions about utilities.

The solution from Optimal Monitoring provided real-time data and historic comparisons on electricity, gas, and water usage through an intuitive system and on-site dashboards. This empowered both staff and pupils to change behaviors, leading to immediate problem resolution and significant reductions in consumption. As a result of implementing Optimal's software, the school reduced its electricity usage by 13%, gas by 23%, and achieved a 6% year-on-year reduction in electricity spend.
