Using Less Stuff (Energy 1)

Simple methods of consumption reduction are often the most effective. Here are a few things we can do to begin Using Less energy in your school.

• Turn all plugs off at the switch.
• Turn appliances off when they’re not in use; do not leave them on standby.
• Enable automatic power down settings on all computers in the school.
• Place posters around the school to remind others to Use Less.
• Place notes next to appliances and light switches so people don’t forget!

Once the school gets used to implementing these methods, you will be able to observe a reduction in energy consumption on the monitoring system.
