Energy Saving SuggestionsEnergy Saving Suggestions
Purchase heating blankets for boilers Install weather stripping along Crocker windows Consider Energy Star products when buying new
appliances Change the direction of ceiling fans depending on
season to maximize cool/hot air flow Maintain seals of fireplace flues in Crocker building
to avoid drafts Encourage students to wear warmer clothes so that
heat can be turned down Adjust front door of Ansin building so that it shuts
completely Seal gap underneath Ansin art hall/lobby door

School is able to choose level of commitment they can meet
Requires small tasks that produce big reductions in footprint
Easily incorporated because some tasks have already been accomplished
Needs full participation of school, would be a good community project
