I will do my part to avoid unnecessary use of electricity and remind other students, teachers, and staff to do the same. Name (First, Last) Grade (Student) or Department (Staff) Signature I, , pledge to support my child’s involvement in his/her school’s Energy Reduction Challenge and agree to make a sincere effort to change behaviors and reduce energy use in our home. By doing so, I recognize I will not only conserve valuable natural resources but will also save money. (Signature) (Date) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Meet with your school’s Facilities Management staff and Administrators to review Operational Strategies and discuss which strategies your school may wish to pursue. Take a tour of your school’s mechanical room. Learn what type of heating and cooling system your school has. Find out if your school is already having MOU agreement for becoming a partner. Be on the look-out for ENERGY STAR® labels on appliances or equipment throughout your school. Document any ENERGY STAR®rated equipment you find. Look for leaky taps in bathrooms, kitchens, or classrooms and report to Facilities Management. Research the different types of light bulbs, learn which ones are most energy-efficient, and find out what kind of lights are primarily used in your school. 7. Find out if your school has any occupancy sensors (lights that turn on when motion is sensed and turn off when no motion is sensed for a set period of time). 8. List all the solar energy equipment's being used in your school. 9. Write a pledge to save energy resources . 10. Present some creative ideas how to save energy more efficiently. 11. Estimate how many computers are in your school. It can cost approximately 1% per hour to power a computer that is left on when not in use. Use the following formulas to estimate how much money your school can save by shutting off all computers when not in use: x 0.794 x 16 hours = (# of computers) (cost per hour) (non-school hrs) x 0.794 x 24 hours = (# of computers) (cost per hour) (non-school hrs) Saved (Mon-Sat) Saved (On Sunday) Greetings! Did you know that we are participating in an Project Name Challenge? This fun challenge has our school’s Green Team exploring different ways to save energy around our school! Check out easy ways you can save energy too: Turn off the lights in areas that are unoccupied. Use partial lighting when using only a portion of the room. Raise blinds or shades during the day to allow in natural lights. Dress appropriately for the season and avoid re-adjusting the thermostat. Close blinds or shades at the end of the day to reduce overnight air temperature loss or gain. Keep doors to offices, conference rooms, and classrooms closed to keep unconditioned hallways air from entering. Shutdown computers, monitors, printers, copiers, and other office equipment's at night and on the weekends, unless network technicians specifically instruct otherwise. (One exception - servers) Turn off computers monitors when leaving work areas or when your computers are not in use. Turn off electronics and personals appliances when not in use, when leaving the room, or at the end of the day. Also unplug these items during extended periods of non-use. Use water wisely. Turn off taps after using them and report leaks right away. Use solar energy equipment's. Replace your task light bulb with a compact fluorescent. It will last 10 times longer and save 75%. Scratch the screensaver. As cute it may be, it wastes energy and interferes with power management features. When you’re not using your monitor, turn it off or put it to sleep, instead.
