Parents send their children to school to learn and what they learn will benefit them later in life, of course. But some of the lessons also hit home. The Alliance to Save Energy reports that lessons provided to K-12 schools typically lower energy use by 5 to 15% in the schools. Most of this is due to awareness, like turning off lights when leaving the room and use of setbacks on thermostats.
But the Alliance also noted that the lessons learned extend beyond the classroom to the home. Turning off lights and encouraging efficient use of energy saves families money too. So, when your children come home from school and you ask what they learned today, don’t be surprised when they tell you to turn off lights. – Steve Terry, DTC HVAC & Refrigeration Instructor
