Energy use in schools

Scott Humphreys of eco-Kinetics produced a very useful Energy Audit of St Vincent’s Primary School in Queensland in 2008. By my calculation this indicates that 26% of the electric at the school is used by ICT. This is comparable to the figure I estimated for the ANU Computer Science Department, which was 30%.
