Higher Electricity Bills: A single standard air conditioning unit can consume up to 1.2 kW per hour. Multiply that by 10–12 hours after school hours (including overnight), and you’re spending on electricity no one is actually using.
Increased Carbon Footprint: South Africa’s ongoing energy challenges mean wasteful electricity usage strains the grid further, contributing to loadshedding pressures.
Long-Term Equipment Wear & Tear: Leaving units running when not needed reduces the lifespan of the equipment, leading to higher maintenance costs down the line.
Water Management
Increased Water Bills: A constantly running toilet or dripping tap can waste hundreds of litres per day—water that your company is paying for even when it’s going straight down the drain.
National Water Scarcity: South Africa is a water-scarce country. Every litre saved matters, especially in drought-prone regions.
Reputational Impact: A business that takes proactive measures to reduce wastage can set a positive example for students and the broader community, championing responsible citizenship.
Pool Management
Savings Optimised Pump Scheduling: Running the pool filtration system only during necessary hours can drastically reduce electricity consumption.
Reduced Wear and Tear: Proper scheduling extends the lifespan of expensive pool equipment such as pumps and filters.
