Exercise 12

Do a survey of energy use at your school, based on the following questions: How is the electricity generated? How are most of the buildings heated? How is water heated? How are most of the vehicles powered? How is the computer network powered? How could energy efficiency be improved, if at all, in each of these areas? If it does not already do so, how could your school make use of solar, wind, biomass, and other forms of renewable energy? Write up a proposal for using energy more efficiently and sustainably at your school and submit it to school officials.
