Effective Strategies for Reducing Electricity Use and Saving Money

In our presentation at the Science Expo 2014, we explore innovative ways to reduce electricity consumption at Meigs Academic Magnet Middle School while saving money. Key strategies include using programmable thermostats, which can save about $180 annually; turning off and unplugging computers to potentially save up to $40,000 yearly; and implementing caulking and weather stripping to seal leaks and improve energy efficiency. These practical methods not only contribute to financial savings but also support our commitment to environmental sustainability.

  1. Science Expo 2014 Electricity and Savings Art Muedas

  2. Introduction Many may believe that electricity is the resource that we use the most of, and for almost everyone it is. I am proposing ways to reduce the use of electricity for Meigs Academic Magnet Middle School, while saving money.

  3. Programmable Thermostats - Programmable thermostats allow you to heat or cool a building at a set time of day - The best model for the least expense is about $75 - Saves about $180 a year

  4. Turning Off Computers - Could save up to $35,000 - 40,000 a year in electricity bills. - Don’t just turn off, unplug it. - Modern computers can take 40,000 on/off switches before breaking

  5. Weather Strips and Caulking - Caulk is used to seal cracks, gaps, or joints that are less than 1 quarter-inch wide. - Weatherstripping can seal leaks around movable joints, such as windows or doors. - Depending on the age and the condition of the building, caulking and weatherstripping could save a substantial amount of money.
