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 (68 ⁰ heating, 78 ⁰ cooling) – Kitchen equipment and operation
