Name the biggest ways energy can be conserved at school.


 * C-tec**
 * having energy saving features on lights
 * Install energy efficient heating and cooling fixture.
 * keep windows open for free heat, and doors closed to trap A/C
 * install solar panels on the top of the school, and convert to electricity in certain parts of the school
 * Use LED tvs to conserve more energy
 * turn off equipment when not in use
 * run contests between classes and see who conserves the most energy, offer prizes.
 * Contact your mechanical, electrical and lighting contractors to solicit energy ideas.
 * Use electric thermostats and install ceiling fans
 * Set timers on vending machines, to turn them off and on
 * Turn off coffee machines after lunch
 * Tighter control of lawn automatic sprinkler systems during inclement weather and winter season. In addition, possibility of having water and sewer company not charge sewer charges for water used for irrigation and cooling tower use

 * Start a student group to identify improper energy use and look for devices left on at the end of the day. Have them speak to other student about how everyone can help save energy and how. Younger students can benefit greatly by learning proper use and conservation tips that they can use throughout their lives. Have the students write a list of additional ideas to save energy and make them a bigger part of the solution** GM**
