GCS Energy WISE 2018 – 2019 Program Overview
Energy WISE (Wisdom Is Saving Energy and the Environment) is a GCS program designed to educate building occupants and the community about energy efficiency while reducing energy consumption in the schools. Each participating school will form an Energy WISE team. The Energy WISE Program Manual provides the framework and “how to” of the program, but the level of success is up to each team and its level of involvement. There are some required activities and some optional activities that the club/students or school can select. These completed activities are documented and placed in a notebook, which will be judged by the Energy WISE awards committee. Please submit the notebook by April 11, 2019. A rubric (found in the manual) will be used to evaluate the notebook. The Energy WISE program works in conjunction with NEED (National Energy Education Development Project) by using NEED energy kits to help students understand energy concepts and appreciate the importance of energy conservation. The Energy WISE program is based on four basic principles: Monitoring, Awareness, Educating and Assessing.
Energy Slogans
“If it's not in use, turn off the juice!” “Do the Earth a favor. Be a power saver.” “Turn off the light when outside is bright.”
“Save today, survive tomorrow.” “Reduce, reuse, recycle and upcycle.”
“Think globally, act locally.”

GETTING STARTED Pacing Suggestions
SEPTEMBER
□ Select Energy WISE team members.
Ideally, your team should consist of 5 to 10 members and meet twice a month. These students can be recommended by teachers or apply to be a member of the team. See pages 27-28 for optional forms for student selection. Implementation of the program should fit your schedule and your school’s schedule.
□ Select a club name. Select officers. Make sure everyone in the club has an assigned role. Decide when and how often to meet.
□ Get a 3-ring binder and begin compiling the notebook. (Due April 11, 2019) See page 6 for instructions. □ Plan and implement the long Labor Day weekend shutdown using FORM I. This is the form to help school personnel remember to turn electrical appliances, fans, personal appliances and lights off when leaving the school for a long weekend.
□ Collect FORM I and reuse for the Veterans Day weekend November 10 - 12.
The following are suggestions from teachers who have successfully implemented the shutdown process:
a. Send an email to all faculty and staff asking them to help save energy by turning off electrical appliances and lights when they leave for the long weekend.
b. Make a copy of FORM I for each teacher and put in each staff member’s mailbox.
c. Ask faculty/staff to complete and tape the form to the outside of the classroom/office door when they leave for the long weekend.
d. Note: Some mentors put the names of all who participated in a basket and draw a name at a faculty meeting. The winning person is recognized.
e. Some schools select halls or grade levels and recognize the highest participation. Have the data analyzer/s determine how many of the faculty/staff participated in the shutdown. Think of ways to promote more participation.
8
Some examples of Energy WISE club roles are: President Conducts the meetings. Vice-President Helps conduct the meetings. Secretary/s Keeps notes about meetings/activities.
Keep a record of attendance. (FORM C) (Found at end of manual). Patrol Captain/s Organizes patrols.
Makes assignments for patrols. Makes sure Patrol sheets’ √’s and x’s are added.
Notebook Organizer/s Responsible for organizing the notebook. Writer Writes about activities/PTSA newsletters, etc. Photographer Takes pictures, labels and includes in notebook. Data Analyzer/s Take patrol data, shut down info, analyze and look for trends. Program Planners Help plan meetings/special projects A sample student application (FORM A-1) and a teacher recommendation (FORM A-2) are included with all the forms in the back of this booklet. These optional forms do not need to be included in the final notebook.

OCTOBER
National Energy Action Month
You are on your way!
□ Complete the light audit. FORM G.
□ Start brainstorming about what projects you would like to do this year.
□ Start thinking about how you will use the data you collect during the year to educate the school community about energy usage and how to save energy in your school. See Form K. You will need to do two presentations.
ENERGY AWARENESS PRESENTATIONS (FORM K) Include in Notebook
Presentations can be made to classes, other clubs, faculty/staff, PTA or any other groups within your school. See a sample Form K on page 39. You will need to do two presentations.
The following are examples of possible presentations. These are only suggestions. Be creative!
1. Prepare an energy presentation to show the difference in the energy used by different light bulbs using the kill-a-watt meter.
2. Prepare an energy presentation about the cost of using different electrical appliances in your school. Collect this data when you do the plug load activity using the kill-a-watt meter.
3. Prepare an energy presentation about the cost of lights in your school. 4. Share what savings are available if lights are turned off when no one is
present. For example, students can calculate how much energy/money is saved by turning off the lights in the school for one hour.
10
SCHOOL LIGHT AUDIT (FORM G) Include in Notebook
This activity teaches students about the different types of light bulbs, how many are in your school and the cost to run them throughout the school year. Examples of different types of lights: Incandescent, Fluorescents (CFL, T-12, T-8 and T-5), LED, Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium, etc. Be sure to include gyms, auditorium, cafeteria, multi-purpose rooms, athletic fields, media center and other non-classrooms as well as classroom spaces in your audit.
HOW DO I DO THE LIGHT AUDIT? 1. Divide the club members into teams. 2. Make a copy of FORM G & a copy of the school’s fire escape plan for each team. 3. Divide the school into areas on the fire escape plan & assign an area to each team. 4. Make some form of identification for each team member. Some schools have lanyards, some have special hats, and some have clipboards, etc. 5. Complete FORM G by following directions on the form. NOTE: A good idea is to practice how to do the count in a classroom before the students count the lights in the school. If you look at the fire escape plan you will notice that most of the rooms on a hall are the same size. If all the bulbs in your school are the same type, your team can count one of the rooms and then multiply the number of bulbs in that room by the number of similar rooms. This way the students do not have to count the lights in each individual room. If you have a mixture of T-8s and T-12s, this will not apply. RESOURCES:
Learning and Conserving Kit student guides. Your school custodian is a great resource in determining types of bulbs and their
wattage. Flicker checker with directions on how to use in the Learning and Conserving Kit.
Group 2
11
There are three ways to determine the difference between T-12 and T-8 bulbs.
Use the flicker checker in the Learning and Conserving Kit. Instructions on how to use are in the student manual.
Turn the light off for a few seconds and then turn back on; if T-12 bulbs are present, the lights will come back on slowly and flicker. If T-8 bulbs are present, they will come back on quickly and should NOT flicker.
Use a cell phone in camera mode. If a T-12 bulb is present, you will see yellow wavy lines moving across the screen. If a T-8 bulb is present, you will not see any movement or color.
Incandescent CFL LED
Did you know?
You can run a TV for 3 hours with the energy saved by recycling one aluminum can.
You can power a 60-Watt bulb for 6 hours with the energy saved by recycling one plastic bottle.
12
SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES (FORM L)
1. Designate an energy captain/ninja for each classroom. This person will be responsible for turning off electrical appliances when students leave the classroom. Copy, laminate and post the checklist found on page 26 in the manual in each classroom.
2. Compose energy tips or videos to show on the school TV announcements. 3. Share the concept of task lighting where someone uses a lamp when sitting at
a desk working and turns off un-needed lights in the room. 4. Share the concept of de-lighting where lights are turned off when natural light is
available and is sufficient. For example, in a workroom, a gym or a cafeteria that has sufficient sunlight. Use the light meter to measure.
5. Have a light count contest in your school. This contest can be done after you do the light audit in October. Recognize the winners.
6. Explore ways to conserve water at your school. Create small stickers for bathroom mirrors with water saving tips. Report any leaky faucets or running toilet to maintenance.

SECRET PATROL HOW TO ORGANIZE
1. Make a copy of FORM D and a copy of the school fire escape plan for each team.
Divide the school into areas and assign an area to each team. Make some form of identification for each person that will patrol.
When you enter a space, record the room number or type of space (gyms, multipurpose rooms, etc.) and date/time on your patrol record, FORM D.
▪ If the room is empty and the lights are ON, then energy is being wasted;
Place an X under lights on your patrol record. ▪ If the room is occupied and the lights are ON, then no energy is being wasted;
Place a √ under lights. ▪ If the room is empty and the lights are OFF, then no energy is being wasted;
Place a √ under lights on your patrol record. NOTE: USE THESE STEPS FOR EACH ITEM CHECKED.
2. Was the door closed when you arrived at the space?
▪ Put a √ if the door was closed or an X if the door was open. ▪ If outside doors are present, check these also. 3. Check the windows in the room. If the windows are open, ask the teacher to close
them. 4. Check the computer monitors. NOTE: DO NOT TURN OFF THE CPU. 5. Check the printers. 6. If your school has heating and cooling units inside the classroom, check them next. Are the units clear from any obstruction? Look for books, boxes, etc. sitting on or in
front of the unit. If the units are NOT blocked, place a √ under HVAC units on your patrol form. If the units ARE blocked, place an X under HVAC units. If this does not apply to your school, put N/A in the column.
Check to see if the thermostat is covered by any object. Place a √if the thermostat is not blocked and an X if it is. 7. Check Elmos/Document Readers, Projectors, Smart Boards, etc. 8. Check to see if any personal appliances are running and no one is in the room. 9. Check to see if blinds are closed.
10. Check TVs.
11. When finished with the patrol, add the √’s and X’s and record on FORM D. Have the Data Analyzer/s look at data and summarize. Compare each patrol to the secret patrol and to the previous one to see if more checks are present than X’s.
16
NOVEMBER
□ Complete the secret patrol using FORM D. The teams will check rooms to see if:
Lights are turned off when no people are present Monitors are turned off when no people are present Classroom and outside doors are closed Windows are closed HVAC units are not blocked (if applicable) Thermostats are not blocked.
The secret patrol allows each team to establish a good baseline of energy usage at your school. MAKE SURE to total all checks and x’s in the columns and at the end of the row.
□ Do the plug load. See FORM F.
□ Organize the data collected from the light count. Start to plan ways you will
educate and share the information with your school. Have a light count contest. Present the information at a faculty meeting. Present information during school announcements. Make posters or bulletin boards. Calculate how much energy can be saved if everyone turns off un-needed
lights during the day.
□ Plan activities that your club would like to complete during the year.
See pages 12-14.
□ Distribute FORM I to all staff for the Veterans Day weekend.
Distribute forms on Friday, November 9. Have students collect the completed forms on Tuesday, November 13. Keep the forms for the Fall Break shutdown.
□ Distribute FORM I to all staff just before the Fall Break (November 19 or 20)
Have students collect the completed forms on Monday. Keep the forms for the Winter Break shutdown.
□ Continue to update notebook (DUE Thursday, April 11, 2019).
17
Plug-Load Study (FORM F) THIS IS DONE ONE TIME
Another way a team assesses energy is to do a plug-load study with a Kill-A-Watt
meter to determine how much electricity is being used by an appliance. See instructions in the Student Guide in the Learning and Conserving Kit on how
to use the Kill-A-Watt meter that is in the Energy WISE kit. List each piece of equipment tested on Form F, the quantity in your school
(Media Specialist should have information), and the WATTS reading from the “Kill-A-Watt” meter. Some suggestions for items to test: computer monitors, TVs, VCRs, pencil sharpeners, document readers, smart boards, fans, heaters, copiers, refrigerators, microwaves, etc.
Use a Kill-A-Watt meter to determine if the equipment has a phantom or vampire load (i.e., if the equipment continues to use electricity after it is turned off). For example: a VCR may be turned off but is still using energy. The VCR must be unplugged or plugged into a power strip that can be turned off to eliminate all energy usage.
TO COMPLETE FORM F:
Measure the wattage of each piece of equipment using the Kill-A-Watt meter. The Watt and VA button is a toggle function key. Press the button once to display the Watt reading. The Watt reading is the value used to calculate kWh consumption, not the VA reading.
If a phantom load is present, write the value in column A. Turn on the electrical appliance and measure the energy used. Record this number in column B. Estimate the typical usage for column C.
Calculate:
Column D (the total running hours per month) by multiplying typical use of hours/day times number of days/month.
Column E (monthly kWh), by multiplying Kill-A-Watt meter reading times total running hours/month and dividing by 1000. B x D/1000
Column G (yearly kWh) by multiplying monthly kWh times # of months used. E x F.
Column H (annual cost of each electrical device) by multiplying yearly kWh by $0.10. G x $0.10
Column J (total annual cost) by multiplying annual cost times the number of devices. H x I
18
DECEMBER
□ Do one regular patrol. Use FORM E and complete by adding up √’s and x’s in the columns and at the end of the line.
□ Complete all calculations for the plug load on FORM F.
□ Plan or continue any activities the club wants to complete before the end of the school year.
□ Hand out FORM I to staff just before the Winter Break. Ask the teachers and staff to complete and tape to their door before they leave for the Winter Break.
□ Continue to update notebook. (Due Thursday, April 11, 2019)
□ Plan for the poster contest if your team chooses to participate. See page 19 for instructions.
HOW DO I ORGANIZE THE REGULAR PATROLS?
The regular patrol is organized just like the secret patrol except it is done throughout the rest of the school year and uses a different form, FORM E. Its purpose is to see if the school community is saving energy by turning off lights and electrical appliances that are not being used and by keeping outside doors and windows closed to conserve energy. A suggestion is to copy FORM E, write the room numbers on each team’s sheet, then re-copy to have the forms ready for the remaining 5 patrols. Do not forget to include offices: mobile classrooms, gyms, multipurpose rooms and
the cafeteria. Continue to patrol throughout the year. Try to patrol on different days and be
unpredictable. Create a badge or ribbon to wear while patrolling. Post the Energy WISE classroom checklist (template found with forms located in
the back of manual) in each room or space to remind everyone to be Energy WISE!
Leave either a “thank you” or an “oops”. If the room has all √’s, leave a “thank you.” If the room has mostly X’s, then leave an “oops” and circle all of the happy faces for
any √’s and circle all of the sad faces for any X’s. Be sure to date the FORM E.
Complete FORM E by adding up all the √’s and X’s on the form at the end of the row and also the total for each column.
19
JANUARY
□ Do one regular patrol. Remember: You will need to complete 5, complete the forms
and analyze the data.
□ Analyze data (FORM H) from the regular patrols to see if the school is conserving energy. See page 20 in this manual for data analysis suggestions. Compare your patrol data to the secret patrol (baseline). Keep your school informed of your school’s energy saving progress.
□ Compete in the annual Energy Awareness Poster Contest. Posters are due on Friday, January 11th. Please see below for more information.
□ Continue to plan and complete activities. (FORM L)
□ Continue to update the notebook with all the forms, pictures and documentation from your activities. (Due THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 2019)
□ Collect FORM I from the Winter Break shutdown.
□ Hand out FORM I on January 17, 2019 for the Martin Luther King holiday shutdown. Collect when you return from the holiday on January 22nd.

□ Plan to do two regular patrols. Remember: You will need to do 5 total, complete the forms and analyze the data.
□ Continue to analyze data from the regular patrols to see if the school is conserving energy. Compare your patrol data to the secret patrol (baseline). See suggestions for FORM H. Keep your school informed of progress.
□ Continue to plan and complete special activities. (FORM L)
□ Continue to update the notebook with all the forms, pictures and documentation from your activities. (Due THURSDAY, April 11, 2019)
□ Plan to attend Energy Day at NC A&T on April 9. Contact CERT at (336) 256-2406.
SUGGESTIONS for FORM H – Ways to Analyze Data:
1. Analyze your shutdown data and find the % of teachers or staff who participated. Send info through emails to school personnel.
2. Analyze your shutdown data and find the % of teachers at each grade level who participated. Post the data and recognize the winning grade level.
3. Analyze the light audit data. Calculate the amount of energy that might be saved if staff are able to use lighting in their classrooms in different ways. For instance, use 2 bulbs in a light fixture instead of 4. Each school is different, so the club will have to investigate what is possible for the school.
4. Calculate the amount of energy a school might save if all participants were able to turn off their lights for one hour each day when people are not in the classrooms/offices.
5. Analyze the patrols from each month. Look at the totals for each column. These numbers will indicate which electrical appliances are left on when not in use. Be sure to share the information with personnel and students. Use computers to make graphs and share with your school. If energy usage is not changing, brainstorm ways to help everyone change behavior. Compare the number of checks to the secret patrol to see if the number is increasing or decreasing.
6. Use your plug load data to determine if there is a way to save energy and reduce your carbon footprint.

TIPS FOR MENTORS
Separate the manual by months and put in a 3-ring binder with dividers for each month. This gives the team a guide for the year.
To facilitate patrols for students, you may want to copy FORM D on one side and the instructions on the other side.
For regular patrols, list the rooms that each team will monitor ahead of time and
then copy five times for the 5 patrols.
Light switch stickers AND thank you stickers are supplied by GCS. The team can also utilize grade-appropriate NEED teacher and student guides downloadable from the NEED website at http://need.org/.
A NEED Learning and Conserving Kit is available. Contact Carol Meirelles at
The NEED Learning and Conserving Kit includes: Kill-A-Watt meter, light meter, hygrometer pen, digital thermometer, flicker checker, lamp, a CFL bulb and an incandescent bulb, student and teacher guides.
The student guide in the Learning and Conserving Kit has experiments and other activities that can be used by your Energy WISE team and/or classrooms.
One suggestion to help involve the whole school is to ask each teacher to appoint student energy captains. These students will use the posted checklist to help students/staff to remember to turn off lights and electrical appliances when the students leave the room for an extended period and when they leave for the day.
Copy the Classroom Checklist, laminate and post in classroom and non-classroom spaces.
Write about the great activities your club is doing in your school and send to: [email protected]
25
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PLANNING Suggestions
The team will need to brainstorm and decide what activities will help to educate students/staff and “get everybody on board” to conserve and use electricity, water and other resources wisely.
The team will have to decide HOW they will implement their activities they have selected.
Analysis of the plug load, light audit and the energy usage from the secret patrol and regular patrols will help with the planning and implementation.
DATA ANALYSIS (Form H) Examples: 1. 61% of staff returned shut down forms in November. Team members
brainstormed ways to improve participation. 75% of staff returned shut down forms for winter break. The largest % was from the 2nd grade hall.
2. We learned that we spend almost $15,000 just in lighting. 3. We focused on turning out lights in little used spaces. 25% of the staff were
aware of lights left on in little used spaces whereas at the end of the year 90% were careful to turn off lights in these spaces.
4. We found that staff and students were not turning off computer monitors when not in use, so we decided to make our January poster to raise awareness.
5. We learned that the drink machine runs all the time, even when no one is in school. We are brainstorming to see if we can solve this problem.
6. The number of √’s increased from the secret patrol to the 3rd regular patrol. We saw a drop in the √’s after the winter break.
Energy Shut Down for School Breaks (FORMS I & J) School breaks are an excellent opportunity for energy conservation. There are many things that can be done to conserve energy while school is closed. Energy WISE teams should work with building support staff and administration to complete these checklists for each break and for long and regular weekends. A suggestion is to copy the appropriate form and give it to each classroom/office. The forms are completed and taped to the classroom/office door and collected by the energy team. The forms have been designed to be reused and placed in the notebook, which is due April 11, 2019.

Glossary Baseline: an initial set of data used for comparison. Benchmark: a follow-up set of data from which measurements may be made, usually comparing them to the baseline data. Carbon footprint (CO2): the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by the energy consumed by an individual, organization or product. Cost avoidance: amount of money not spent because of advanced planning or preparation. Emission: release of gases to the atmosphere from some type of human activity (cooking, driving a car, etc). In the context of global climate change, they consist of greenhouse gases (e.g., the release of carbon dioxide during fuel combustion). Energy efficiency: refers to activities that are aimed at reducing the energy used by substituting technically more advanced equipment, typically without affecting the services provided. HVAC: the abbreviation for heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems. Kilowatt-hour (kWh): A measure of electricity defined as a unit of work or energy, measured as 1 kilowatt (1,000 watts) of power expended for 1 hour. One kWh is equivalent to 3,412 Btu or 3.6 million joules. Phantom load: The amount of electricity drawn from electric appliances when they appear to be off, but are actually in stand-by mode (often signified by a small colored light). Usually, cords with small black boxes attached, such as a cell phone charger, continue to draw electricity even when the phone is not connected to that cord. Plug load: The amount of electricity drawn from electric outlets by appliances and equipment. NOTE: A more complete energy glossary can be found at www.eia.doe.gov/kids/.
