Energy Wasting!
• For our Cranford Community College issue we decided to look at energy wasting.
• For three day we individually went round to every single class room to see whether lights, computers, white boards have been left on and whether people were in the rooms or not.
INTRODUCTION.
• For day one we found out that not a lot of classrooms turn there lights off, or there computers. But in most classrooms they do turn there whiteboards off.

Number of rooms
Number of rooms with lights on
number of rooms with lights off
From this graph we can tell that in all departments that more or less all the rooms have lights on. The blue bar line tells us how many rooms are in this department.In the red bar line it tells us how many of the rooms in each department have the lights which are on. And finally the green bar line tells us how many of the room in each department have lights that are off.
The results from this graph is that in each department you have more than half of there rooms with lights are on. This tells us that each department is wasting a lot of energy on there lights.

Number of rooms
How many computers in the department
Number of rooms with computers on
Number of rooms with computers off
This graph is to show how many computers are in each department with how many of those computers are on and how many of them are off. The blue graph line tells us how many computers are in that department. The Red graph line tells us how many computers are in that department.The green graph line shows us how many of the computers in that department are left on. Finally the purple graph line shows us how many of those computers in the department are turned off.
This graph shows us that in each department about 65% of the computers are left on, even with no people in the room. So over all for day one most of the energy is wasted on computers.
Day Tw0: Wednesday 13th October 2010
On day Two we went round classrooms again and took another set of results. These are the same thing as before. Whether computers or lights have been left on In the classroom.

On the second day we found out that there were a few more computers on then the day before. This is telling us that there is still a problem with people wasting electricity not just on computers but also on lights.
• For the last day we went round the school again to get our final results. So far we saw that on the second day there were more lights and computers on than the first day.

For the final day we can see that there has not been a lot of improvement with the departments turning the computers off. This is wasting the most amount of electricity.
• Some ideas we can do to stop wasting so much electricity is:– Promote teachers to turn off lights, computers and
whiteboards when they leave the rooms. – Leave posters around the school so students and
teachers can remember to turn the computers and lights off. As well as to keep doors shut to stop heat escaping.
What can we do to not Waste so much electricity?
• For our topic, wasting energy. We have decided to make an environmentally friendly sculpture of a light bulb which is half on and half off.
• We are creating this because we are hoping it will promote people to turn off lights, and hopefully they will also get the idea to turn of other electrical products as well.
Inspired!!!!!
