Conduct an energy snapshot survey

Being able to measure and describe energy use is the first step in managing and reducing consumption. This tool can be used by students in the classroom, school or home. After a baseline level of energy use is known, students can investigate energy use under different conditions and report on changes that can be introduced.

Student Activities

Use the student activity sheet to find out how energy is being used around the school. Enter the details in the Excel chart. Conduct the investigation under different conditions and see how your energy use changes. Read the school electricity meter and track changes.

Teachers Tips

The School Energy Snapshot Survey process outlines how to undertake a snapshot of the school's energy use. This will help to identify ways to save energy around the school.
