What to look for in your sector

Each type of building uses electricity differently. Choose yours to see what normal looks like and what to check first.

Schools and colleges

Schools are closed for about 13 weeks a year, so holidays and weekends should show very little use. When they don't, a schedule usually needs fixing.

Offices and council buildings

Office electricity use should drop sharply when people go home. Whatever carries on running is worth investigating.

Leisure centres and pools

Long opening hours and pools that run around the clock make leisure centres heavy electricity users. Start by understanding what makes up the overnight use.

Healthcare

Hospitals and many care settings run 24 hours a day, so out-of-hours use is less relevant. Comparing day with night, and peaks with supply capacity, tells you more.

Industrial and warehouses

With shift work, getting the calendar right matters more than anything. Once it's set, use during shutdowns, compressed air leaks and refrigeration are easy to see.

Retail and hospitality

Fixed trading hours make out-of-hours use easy to spot. Refrigeration, signs and kitchen equipment are the most common causes.
