12 The Alliance to Save Energy Green Schools Program
13 Baltimore Office of Sustainability Grant Low cost/no cost savings Behavior based and connected to curriculum Scalable
14 What is the Alliance to Save Energy? Mission: To promote energy efficiency worldwide to achieve a healthier economy, a cleaner environment, and greater energy security. Policy Leaders Organization: Business Leaders The Alliance to Save Energy Environmental Groups Staffed by 80+ professionals 34 years of experience $15 million annual budget Recognized as the premier energy efficiency organization in the world Academia
15 Why Schools? Schools nationally spend $8 billion on energy - DOE estimates at least in general, 25 percent of school energy consumption is wasted. Kids can lead in societal behavior change. Perfect venues for capacity-building; training the next generation of energy innovators.
16 Energy QUIZ What does kwh stand for? What is an HVAC system? Where is the electric meter at your school? Name three types of light bulbs: Which energy source(s) is/are used by your school? Where are the transmission lines that connect your school to the power grid? Who pays your school s utility bill? (Trick question )
17 What makes our electricity? Fuel Mix for Baltimore: 57% Fossil Fuels, 41% Nuclear, 1% Hydropower, 1% Other Renewables Source:
18 Fuel Mix Students can calculate kwh avoided $$ Costs avoided Carbon Dioxide Emissions avoided lbs per kwh
19 Some Simple Tools
20 Watt Meter Shows how much power an appliance is using Measures in watts Energy is billed in kilowatt hours (1000 watts) SAFETY: Remove from the wall/appliances carefully USE: Always make sure you are measuring Watts by pressing that button once and reading the unit displayed
21 Light Meter Shows how much light is in an area A light meter measures the luminance (how much a light source illuminates an area) of a given area or work surface in footcandles (A footcandle is equal to the light from one candle held one foot away.) USE: Place on the surface where you need light HALLWAY?
22 Flicker Checker Tests fluorescent lights to determine whether they have magnetic or electronic ballasts. Detects flicker in lights o o Checker pattern = magnetic Smooth circles = electronic
23 How electricity is used in schools nationwide: Office Equipment, 0.92% Computers, 8.26% Other, 5.50% Space Heating, 3.67% Refrigeration, 4.59% Cooking, 0.01% Cooling, 20.18% Lighting, 30.28% Ventilation, 22.02% Water Heating, 2.75%
24 What is an Energy Audit? Provides a snapshot of how energy is currently being used in the facility. Identifies the energy and cost savings to be achieved by changing the way energy is used in a building or group of buildings. They reveal the ways a home, school, or other facility AND the people in it can save energy.
25 Brainstorm How are you going to save energy? 1. How to convince others to save energy 2. Lighting 3. Efficiency 4. Needless appliances 5. Temperature 6. Weatherization
26 Brainstorm How are you going to move forward with this? Meeting times Auditing the rest of the school Organization Communication Student roles to distribute tasks Community impact Outreach
27 Creating Policy Vista Murrieta High School, Murrieta, CA Environmental Engineering students audit school Propose 10% savings plan for school year Also invited to audit district buildings and make recommendations for District energy policy Now working with city council.
28 Convincing Teachers to Conserve Penn Treaty Middle School, Philadelphia, PA Students used appliance lessons to learn about energy use at home. Class decided to also survey the school for its appliance usage. Reported their data at a faculty meeting Students published progress reports, made reminders, and saved a little over 11,000 kwh of electricity over the school year.
29 Home Energy Audits River Hill High School, Howard County, MD Teacher led through AP Environmental Science class and Ecology Club Saturday audit trainings Teams of students required to audit 10 houses each
