SMEasure.org.uk targets schools to bring awareness of their carbon emissions
Smeasure targets schools to assist them with the meeting the Government's guidelines for The National Framework for Sustainable Schools
OXFORD, ENGLAND, May 13, 2010 /E-Learning PR News/ -- As smeasure.org.uk, a website stemming from academic research from the University of Oxford moves from beta testing to a wider market - Smeasure hope to target schools in particular.
Smeasure and education are a natural fit as Smeasure can support the schools curriculum, providing graphical data and bringing study to life. SMEasure is also featured in a BBC Teachers TV program, on how the music industry is reducing its carbon footprint.
The schools taking part also support valuable data as it is fed back from Smeasure to the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford for valuable research.
The research will be used ultimately to inform governmental energy policy as well as investment and programmes to reduce energy use and carbon emissions.
Annah Todman, marketing manager says 'Schools are having to become more environmentally aware as the Government would like every school to be a sustainable school by 2020. According to teachersnet, English schools contribute an estimated 15 per cent of public-sector emissions annually.'
'Using SMEasure as an educational tool to support their curriculum, should also assist contributing schools to reduce their share of the estimated 8.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emitted from schools each year,' she continues.
Schools are ideally placed to take a lead within communities to help reduce carbon emissions. Monitoring the schools energy should provide the school with clear insights for saving energy, reducing carbon emissions and cutting bills.
SMEasure is a free energy monitoring calculator, especially designed for small and medium businesses. For further information please contact Muriel Bonjean on muriel.bonjean@ouce.ox.ac.uk or 01865 285 540 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 01865 285 540 end_of_the_skype_highlighting
