Energy Management At Home & School
Saving Energy (K-1) Building Buddies (2-3) Monitoring & Mentoring(4-6) Learning & Conserving (7-12)
Hands-on activities with real-world applications. Interdisciplinary Life skills 5-10 class periods
Classroom and School Energy Audits Students survey their school building and energy consumption to develop an energy management/conservation plan for their school.

"Don't setback your thermostat. You will use just as much energy as you save at night heating the building back up in the morning."
Not True! The Facts: Studies have confirmed that thermostat temperature setback saves energy. You can expect to save roughly 1% of your fuel bill for every degree you turn down the temperature for 100 hours per week in the heating season.
Incandescents vs. Compact Fluorescents Compact Fluorescent
Equipment & Technologies Fluorescent Lighting
Fluorescent Lighting What does F32T8 mean? F = Fluorescent 32 = Lamp Wattage T= Tube 8= Number of 1/8” sections in diameter (i.e. a T8 lamp is 1” in diameter).
”Don’t switch lights off because it takes more energy to start them up again”
Not True! The Facts: Turning on fluorescents causes a momentary spike. Additional consumption is negligible. Turn off fluorescents when leaving for more than two minutes. Incandescent bulb usage is not increased at all by switching.
