		<description><![CDATA[Conserving energy &#38; water is largely about education but importantly it’s also about reinforcement

Everyone is quite well informed now about the need to conserve energy and no one wants to deliberately waste resources by leaving computers, lights and other equipment switched on unnecessarily, its just that we’re all very busy people, with a lot on our minds and we often just forget.

This is where ecoDriver sc comes in; by monitoring electricity, gas and water consumption and by continuously broadcasting this data to a prominent display in the school, the issue of reducing energy &#38; water consumption becomes a matter of daily concern for both staff and pupils.


And most importantly people can see, very quickly, the effect of their energy conservation initiatives.

By reducing energy and water consumption not only does your school save money but levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are also reduced. (see diagram) ]]></description>
