Electrical energy conservation is an important part of an environmental program. We know that managing our energy uses will conserve energy sources like natural gas and coal and help control greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to smog, acid rain and global warming. The following table describes the types and quantity of electrical appliances at school:-

Furthermore, an investigation on the daily and monthly consumption of electricity at school level was carried out. Since no CEB bills was received at school level for the current year(only for year 2007 available), members of the Environment Club took records from the CEB meter on a regular basis to calculate the average daily electrical consumption for the current month.

Date Electricity consumption Cost
Jun 2007 4,661 KWh 27,997
Jul 2007 4,922KWh 25,159
Aug 2007 5,315KWh 26,556
Sep 2007 5,365KWh 30,556
Oct 2007 4,819 KWh 28,121

Table 2: Electricity consumption for year 2007

Average daily consumption for May 2009 209 KWh
Forecast CEB bill for May 2009 > Rs 30,000 per month
