How To Save Energy
- Energy Conservation:
Using less energy or saving energy
- Energy Efficiency:
Using technology and equipment that performs the same function, but consumes less energy *Energy Generation
School Activities & Ideas
- Complete an Energy Audit
- Energy Patrols/Watt Watchers
- Energy Saving Outreach
– Read over announcements – Send home packets – Green Star Awards – Energy presentations
- Education about HVAC,
lighting, plug loads – Make sure vents and sensors not blocked – Make sure windows aren’t open when system is running – Make sure appliances are off and unplugged
Building a School Energy Team
- Teachers, Green Teams, Administrative, Building
staff, and Custodians
- Energy Policy and Plan
- Get Started!
– Create signage and education campaigns – Find areas when unneeded lights and appliances can be turned off – Upgrade to ENERGY STAR appliances – School shut downs over holidays and breaks – Check thermostat settings (68⁰ heating, 78⁰ cooling) – Kitchen equipment and
