Souths Energy Usage
The graphs bellow were given to us by the head custodian, Mr. Bianchi. They outline for us the exact kilowatt energy used at our high school. What we can see from this data that could be useful for reducing our eco-footprint is that even at night we are never using less than 401 kilowatts per hour. This means that things in the school are wasting energy even when people are not around. One of the big ways that the school is wasting this energy is through "standby power". The energy wasted when electronics are turned off but not plugged in. This is why our power strips could make such a big difference. Electronics could still be plugged in, but not using any energy.
