Douglass: $15, 966 * (You should pull up the student work book word doc at this point to follow along the calculations with the students) * National average is 1.33 lbs/kWh * The CFL does the same job (light output) as the incandescent, but uses far less energy (watts). The incandescent wastes 98% of it’s energy as heat. * * * Explain to students that the scope of the SEAT program doesn’t allow enough time to do a full school audit, which would mean assessing the entire school, then putting suggested changes into place and then compare the change in energy use with the baseline data gathered from the school’s energy bills. They will, however be performing real activities that measure and analyze energy use, just as an energy auditor would Ask students first where they think the most electricity is used * After seeing this chart, NOW where do you think you should focus your energy saving efforts? Can you control the cooling and ventilation of the school? Not much. Your best bet is to focus on Lighting and computers. * * Sometimes light levels can be increased without changing existing lighting by changing work areas around, taking advantage of day lighting, and so forth. There are 2 ways to measure light – one is to take an average of the general lighting throughout a space. For Visual Tasks where you need a desk or specific space to be well lit, you should measure on the surface that the task is being performed. * We don’t have enough time today to measure each classroom, but that is one thing you will be doing with the club * * * ?

While this flickering is not usually discernable to the human eye, it does have a subliminal impact on the human brain and can cause varying levels of disorientation, headaches, and even nausea.
