Heating and plumbing bills to 'decrease with smart meters'

1 February 2010

Engineering sales jobs seekers may be encouraged to learn that the government is launching a new campaign to reduce carbon footprints in the education sector.

New smart meters will be introduced in schools and it is projected they could save up to 15 per cent a year in fuel bills.

Tim Byles, chief executive of Partnerships for Schools, which is managing delivery of the energy display meter initiative, stated that learning institutions where they had been installed had seen "positive changes in behaviour".

He said: "Display meters are a great way of tapping into the enthusiasm and interest that young people have in the environment and energy efficiency."

The initiative was launched by education minister Ed Balls and he stated that it was imperative that schools started to emit less carbon dioxide.

It was recently announced by the Conservative Party that, if elected, it would introduce schemes worth up to £6,500 to improve the greenness of homes.
