Energy Sources

2. What to expect for today:
We will participate in hands-on activities.
We will collaborate in small and large groups.
We will have discussions and ask and answer questions at appropriate times and in a productive manner.
We will get outta here on time! 

3. Focusing on your station:
SCIENCE OF ENERGY
Focusing on your station:
Review the energy transformations involved with each of the materials in each segment of the station.
Isolate one material or portion of the station. Develop a plan/experimental design for further exploration of the associated energy transformation
Present to the large group on the above bullets.

14. Efficiency vs. Conservation
Energy efficiency involves the use of technology that requires less energy to perform the same function.
Focuses on the equipment or machinery being used
One example is installing LED light bulbs throughout the house
Energy conservation includes any behavior that results in the use of less energy.
Focuses on the behavior of people
One example is using daylighting through windows rather than turning on the lights

15. How Does Your School Use Energy?
Energy System Components
Building Envelope
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
Lighting
Electric Appliances

16. Hygrometer
A hygrometer measures relative humidity. Warmer air can hold more moisture, so if cold air is heated, it will feel very dry unless humidified. Suggested humidity levels should be 40-60%.

17. Digital Thermometer
The digital thermometer can be used to tell if a room is of the appropriate temperature, and compare how spaces may be infiltrated by thermal energy or moving air. Waterproof versions can also help check the temperature setting of your water heating system.

18. Determining Ballast Type
A flicker checker is a small plastic top-like device used to identify ballast type. A gray scale pattern indicates an electronic ballast, while a checkerboard pattern indicates a magnetic ballast.

19. Light Meter
A light meter measures the amount of light in a space in units of foot candles. Spaces that are overly lit may be using more energy than necessary.

20. Kill A Watt meter
This tool allows you to measure how much power (Watts) an electrical device uses at any given time. By changing the display, it will also measure kWh consumed over a period of time.

21. Energy Efficiency: The Assessment

22. Investigate your building and look for the following:
Energy Audit
Investigate your building and look for the following:
Fluorescent light ballast type
Light levels
Humidity levels
Temperature
Electricity usage
Reporting Form (Before and After)
List & share
item that is surprising,
one item that is positive,
one suggested change.
