Effort 2: Energy Use
2.1 We use energy-efficient habits to limit our classroom plug load.
Our classroom has created an Appliance Inventory to determine the total number of appliances plugged in our classroom.
We have eliminated all unnecessary appliances identified in our Appliance Inventory from regular use in our classroom.
We have removed all space heaters from regular use in our classroom.
We switch appliances such as lamps off when they are not in active use.
After our meetings are over, we turn off the lights and put all computer equipment to sleep.
We have designated an Electricity Ace to monitor if lights or other appliances have not been shut off and reports patterns to the teacher.
Our Electricity Ace periodically checks the classroom plug load to identify unnecessary appliances.

2.2 We track our classroom heating and report issues effectively.
We have designated one Comfort Champion per work area in our classroom to act as a single point of contact for temperature concerns arising in their work area.
When we notice temperature fluctuations, we report our concerns to our Comfort Champion.
Our Comfort Champion regularly consults with the teacher to discuss how to address temperature issues within our workspace.
