The results are in.... and Cranborne students have won the Student Switch Off competition this year, with a reduction of 8%, or 0.8 kWh per student per day.  Well done to everyone who took simple actions to save energy in Cranborne and helped to achieve such a great result!

Overall, this year there's been an average decrease in electricity consumption of over 7% across all the halls, which means that together you've saved over 31 tonnes of CO2 from being emitted - great work!  That's the equivalent of the amount of energy used to:

  • power an energy-saving lightbulb for 442 years
  • make over 1.8million cups of tea
  • fly from London to Manchester and back 348 times!

 

Here's how the halls fared against each other:
