Energy audit

Science, Mathematics

Students gain an awareness of energy use throughout the school and plan for positive change. They audit electricity use throughout the school using hands-on science equipment and iPads. Activities include:

  • measuring light levels in various rooms and comparing them to standards
  • entering appliance numbers (e.g. computers, lights, fans) into iPads and estimating energy use, cost and greenhouse gas emission for a year at their school
  • brainstorming positive action in order to reduce energy use and thus the school's environmental impact and electricity bill
