By following the tips below you can save money and reduce energy consumption at school.
No CostAppoint a “Power Ranger” in your classroom. This person is responsible for making sure everything is turned off each day. Everyone should have a turn at being the “Power Ranger”.
Close the door! Consider installing door closers on doors to minimise the time that they remain open and the amount of heating or cooling lost.
Lighting accounts for more than half the electricity consumed in metro and south-west schools. Consider replacing all double fluorescent fittings with energy efficient single tube fittings and incandescent globes with CFLs.
