A local school opened its gates to Brighton residents on Friday, November 14 for a drop-in energy advice surgery. The free and impartial expert advice sessions, provided by Brighton & Hove Energy Services Co-operative (BHESCo) and backed by Caroline Lucas MP, form part of the school’s Energy Month. During November students and staff are looking at ways to save energy, building on the 10 per cent electricity reduction the school achieved in 2013-14. Solar panels now power computers in one of the new school buildings and earn the school extra money to plough back into education.
