TYPE of BULBS at HOME • INCANDESCENT BULBS ……………….36% • FLUORESCENT BULBS……………..…..28 % • HALOGEN BULBS……………………..….28 % • ECONOMIC BULBS………….49 % • DOES NOT KOWN/NO ANSWER……..…2 %
TURN ON THE LIGHT • As often as necessary during daytime.65 % • Regardless of the time of the day……..14 % • As seldom as possible……………..………... 19 %
TURN OFF ELECTRIC EQUIPMENTS AFTER USING THEM • Always………………………… 57% • Often………………..………… 36% • Seldom……………………….. 6% • Never…………………………. 0% • I don’t know…………………… 5%
MONTH ENERGY CONSUMPTION • Below 100 kw………… 14% • Over 100 kw…………… 42% • I don’t know…………… 44%
ARTIFICIAL LIGHT DURING DAYTIME • Always …………………… 70% • Often ……………………… 24% • Seldom……………………. 5% • Never………………………. 1%
TYPE OF HEATING ENERGY RESOURCE • a. Coal …………………………. 2% • b. Gas …….………….. 60% • c. Oil ……………………………. 18% • d. Electricity ………………… 20%

THERMOSTATS or TEMPERATURE REGULATORS • a. Yes ……………… 80% • b. No ……………… 20%
AIR-CONDITIONING • a. Yes ………………… 7% • b. No …………………. 93%
Good Practices • Halogen and economic bulbs increasing. • The majority of the families turn off electric equipments after using them. • Families use natural light during daytime. • The majority of the families have thermostats or temperature regulators.
Bad Practices • Families still use indandescent bulbs (36%), although they will not be produced anymore. • A few families (14%)use artificial light during the day. • A few families (6%) seldom turn off electric equipments after using them.
Improvement measures • Use more economic or fluorescent bulbs. • Turn off electric equipments after using them. • Implement thermostats or temperature regulators.

HEATING ENERGY SOURCE • Wood • Coal • GAS • Oil • Electricity
AMOUNT of ENERGY ANNUALLY • Kgs of coal or wood • M3 of Gas …(2008)…..…73.156 m3 • Litres of Oil …(2006) ……54.732 lt • Kw of electricity
THERMOSTAST or OTHER REGULATORS • Yes • No
AIR-CONDITIONING • Yes • No
WINDOWS OPEN while HEATING ON • Yes • No
ARTIFICIAL LIGHT DURING DAYTIME • Always …………………. 40% • Often ……………………. 34% • Seldom…………………………… 10% • Never……………………………… 16%
Good Practices • Most of the bulbs are fluorescent (95%). • School has some photo solar panels (22 panels. 1.50 x 0,60 mts)
Bad Practices • School does not have thermostats, only an external temperature regulator, that does not work properly. • Students open class windows while the heating is on. • Use of artificial light during daytime.
Improvement measures • Reduce energy consumption campaign. • Implement more photo solar panels. • Implement thermostats in different areas. • Close class windows while heating on. • Reduce using artificial light during daytime
