Schools
Implementing energy efficiency measures and using energy efficient technologies, schools can easily reduce their energy bills by 10-30% on average. Also, with simple changes in behavior, a reduction in the school’s energy usage can be achieved quickly and easily.
If you’re looking to improve the student performance and increase learning and comfort, energy efficiency is a great start. Energy-efficient upgrades can decrease energy without negative impacts to student learning.
Example: By replacing fluorescent lights with LEDs, a facility can reduce its energy consumption by 30%.
Lowering your energy bill equals more money to pay for upgrades that can enhance health and quality of learning.
