In today’s educational landscape, managing energy consumption is crucial. As institutions strive to meet sustainability goals and navigate fluctuating energy prices, implementing smart energy-saving solutions is essential
IT is one of the biggest consumers of energy in UK schools and colleges, and with the power typically on 24/7, there is potential for smart energy savings, simply by turning off IT when it’s not in use. So, when your school or college closes its doors for the night or during the holidays, why not continue to work towards your sustainability goals, without lifting a finger.
In a climate where energy prices are uncertain and funding is limited, any efficiencies that can be achieved will have an important impact on education budgets, as well as support your Sustainability Lead in reducing carbon emissions, as part of the DfE 2025 Climate Action Plan.
Working together for a sustainable future
Schools in England are responsible for emitting 8.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. If the government’s goal of achieving a net-zero economy by 2050 is to be met, we will require new and innovative ways for schools and colleges to address the issue.
At CAE, our innovators have developed an intelligent energy saving solution that enables you to automate your network’s on and off time. Cutting energy usage for when you don’t need it, reducing your IT consumption which in turn, significantly saves costs, results in greater energy efficiency and better compliance with sustainability targets set by the DfE.
Our intelligent energy saving solution, WiserWatts, powered by our in-house software development practice CAE Labs, is designed for use with Cisco and Meraki products, helping you significantly reduce energy waste and run an energy-efficient network. By implementing simple energy management policies, WiserWatts ensures that the power is only on, when network services are needed.
The best bit?
The new energy-saving measures you put in place with your policy, won’t impact delivering network services or education when it’s needed within the classroom, so your school or college will keep running as if nothing has happened.
