Taking action in the classroom

Energy evaluation:
Students are currently going class to class surveying the room for several task:
1.Lighting electronic vs magnets using flicker checkers
2. if running 1/3 less light and or using natural light will stay in the 50 candle range using a light meter
3. identifying digital vs regular thermostats and what they are set on..taking the room temp and relative humidity using a humidity / digital thermometer
4. Identifying number of window / blinds open or closed
5. number of plugged in items wall vs power strip
We will track the room with the most deficits using kill-a-watt meters for two weeks ..and evaluate the other information to see what needs to change or stay the same
