Make an even larger impact

Use natural light on sunny days to conserve energy. This does not mean learning in the dark – it just means looking for opportunities to reduce energy use when sufficient light is available.

Tips:

  • If you have natural light in your classroom, use half-bank or full natural light to make an impact.
  • Make an announcement on sunny days to encourage participation, such as “Today’s nice and bright; consider turning off a light.”
  • Get a team together and sit down with your custodian and school administration to assess areas in the school that could benefit from half-bank lighting. Are there bright hallways with windows? Does your library have a skylight?
