This indicative review draws on approved energy benchmarks and public sector data to help schools across Kirklees assess where spending may be higher when compared against typical reference values.

Public benchmark data and school information
Indicative
Final savings depend on tariffs, contracts, site usage and supplier confirmation.
Indicative estimate only. Based on available public data, benchmark assumptions and information provided by the school. Final savings depend on current contracts, service requirements and supplier confirmation.
A typical energy review examines how your school uses electricity and gas, how your current tariff compares to the market, and whether building controls or operational behaviour could contribute to higher-than-expected consumption. For schools across Kirklees, this evidence-led approach helps you understand where spending may be higher so you can prioritise areas for review.
Edunet Portal draws on Benchmark assumptions used for the review and public datasets such as the Energy Efficiency in Schools reference and the DfE Energy Survey. Where floor-area data is available, we use a benchmark cost per square metre. Because a full comparison is not possible without your actual annual energy spend and key school data, the review remains indicative and should not be taken as a measure of overspend.
A specialist energy review starts with your actual consumption data, supplier contracts, and operational context. The review helps you compare your school’s footprint against reference benchmarks, understand what could be influencing higher spend, and decide whether to seek supplier quotes. Edunet Portal provides a calm, evidence-led starting point for business managers who want to review energy costs without hard-sell pressure.
No. Energy benchmarks are reference values only and rely on public data, not your actual bills. A certain saving cannot be calculated without a full review of your current contracts and consumption.
We use approved assumptions based on public documents, including the Energy Efficiency in Schools 2023/24 reference and the DfE Energy Survey Spring 2022. Where floor-area data exists, we apply a benchmark cost per square metre. These are not school-specific proof of overspend.
The most reliable approach is to share your actual energy bills, contract details, and operational context. Edunet Portal can then help you compare your footprint against benchmarks and indicate where spending may be higher, giving you a clearer view of your options before you approach suppliers.
Edunet Portal uses available public benchmark data to help schools in Huddersfield and Kirklees identify whether energy costs may be worth reviewing. The estimate is indicative and should be confirmed against tariff information, meter data, contract dates and site-specific usage before action is taken.
Enter a school postcode to select the school record. The customer result stays tied to that selected school and the public benchmark data available for the calculation.
Use the result as a starting point for a careful review conversation, not as a confirmed saving or instruction to take action without site-specific evidence.
