Ideas for saving energy • Using natural light • Use of sources with high luminous efficiency • Use of high efficiency power supplies • Use of regulators of luminous flux • Proper maintenance of facilities • Appropriate control systems for plant management • Thermal insulation • Solar energy ITIS & Technological Lyceum “G. Cardano”Pavia - Italy
Using natural light At our school we have many windows that allow natural light to the most appropriate school classes. To maintain this condition we undertake to periodically clean windows and skylights. ITIS & Technological Lyceum “G. Cardano”Pavia - Italy
Use of sources with high luminous efficiency Still at our school we use many neon lights that allow adequate lighting at relatively low cost. We could adopt a more energy-efficient lighting systems with which to reduce our consumption and therefore our CO2 emissions ITIS & Technological Lyceum “G. Cardano”Pavia - Italy
Use of high efficiency power supplies Are commercially available power supplies with higher efficiency than the other and with lower consumption. For example, in computers there is a certification that guarantees the quality of the product. ITIS & Technological Lyceum “G. Cardano”Pavia - Italy
Use of regulators of luminous flux At our school we are not equipped with flow regulators bright but we are convinced that the installation of these apperecchiature might significantly reduce energy consumption.As we allow the light intensity depending on the time and the time of year. ITIS & Technological Lyceum “G. Cardano”Pavia - Italy
Proper maintenance of facilities Proper maintenance can significantly reduce consumption and allow us to quickly identify causes of energy waste. ITIS & Technological Lyceum “G. Cardano”Pavia - Italy
Appropriate control systems for plant management Using equipment such as thermostats or sensors can manage to keep the consumption on the appropriate values. ITIS & Technological Lyceum “G. Cardano”Pavia - Italy
Thermal insulation Windows and doors using appropriate energy saving methods is remarkable.We can do this by installing double-glazed windows, providing them with appropriate joints, checking that the doors are completely isolated from the outside and have an automatic closing. ITIS & Technological Lyceum “G. Cardano”Pavia - Italy
Solar energy Would be very successful installation of photovoltaic systems for electricity production.The school has large surface sufficiently lit and therefore suitable for this purpose.Currently there are a number of technologies being developed that allow the exploitation of solar control glass and walls by using special coatings and films.
