There are a number of things you can do to save energy.
Invest in energy-saving power strips./li>
What amount of energy do you spend? $6 billion is spent on energy by US school districts. Kindergarten through high school buildings in the US spend an average of 67 cents per square foot on electricity and 19 cents per square foot on natural gas each year.
By being more energy efficient, schools can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. School districts can use the savings from improved energy performance to pay for building improvements that enhance the learning environment.
In a school environment, our systems are ideal as they provide a safer, lower voltage, lower energy wasting solution to existing devices, which allow for more money to be saved that can be spent on teaching resources and even training teachers themselves!
There are 17 energy saving tips.
Don’t forget to watch for energy draining appliances. Smart power strips can be used to manage usage. Use large appliances together to save energy. Cold wash when you can, it’s just as good. Don’t dry your clothes or dishes by yourself. When it’s time for energy efficiency, upgrade.
Space heating, cooling, and lighting make up 70% of school energy use.
Kindergarten through high school buildings in the US use an average of 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity and 50 cubic feet of natural gas per square foot. Space heating, cooling, and lighting make up 70% of school energy use.
There are 21 small changes that can add up to a lot of savings.
Turn off unneeded lights. Natural light can be used. Task lighting can be used. Take shorter showers When brushing teeth, turn the water off. Fix the leaking faucet. Plug unused electronics Don’t use the computer.
The entire school can save energy. Reductions of as much as 25% in utility bills have been reported by schools with effective programs. When people know how much it costs to power their school, they are more likely to try and avoid waste.
The lighting in schools uses a lot of energy. The Alliance to Save Energy says that lighting accounts for half of the electric bill in most schools.
30 percent of the district’s energy is wasted. By being more energy efficient, schools can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions are energy usage. Students, teachers, and school district officials can all be part of the solution to reduce the impacts of climate change if they take action to save energy.
