Saving with Space Heaters

• Northwestern Lehigh High School should use space
  heaters in every classroom, faculty room, main
  office, and the library. This solution will
  supplement the current fuel heating at a lower
  cost.

Current Costs vs. Future Cost with Space Heaters

• The total amount that the high school is
  spending on heating fuel is about 115,110.65 per
  year.
• With the usage of just space heaters it would
  cost 10,091.04 for the first year (with the cost
  of the actual heaters included) and just
  6,539.04 every year after.

8
Change to current fuel cost

• With the current temperature being at about 70F
  we will lower the thermostat to about 61F which
  is a 13 different in temperature and cost.
  Therefore the cost for our heating fuel will be
  100,146.27.
• With the total cost running space heaters every
  year our total for heating the high school will
  be 106,685.31. We save 8,425.34 a year.

9
Trial and Error

• We feel this is a good idea. Just to make sure
  this will work we want to plan a trial first. We
  can pick a room in each wing of the high school
  and test our space heater idea. If it works we
  can expand the idea throughout the whole school.

10
In Conclusion

• The space heaters give us the ability to cut
  back on the cost of heating fuel.

11
Laptop Distribution Plan

• The Northwestern Lehigh School District has
  recently made a large purchase of laptops,
  chargers, and C.O.Ws. All of these appliances
  use large portions of electricity. The main idea
  is to loan laptops out to students in 11th and
  12th grade courses while 9th and 10th grade
  courses use computer labs. This will cut costs
  on electricity.

Energy Consumption

• -60 watts per hour to charge laptop
• -1.4 kilowatts per day to charge a laptop
• -60w/hr24hr1440 watts per day
• -(30 laptops per C.O.W.)1.4Kw in a day per
  laptop42 kilowatts a day per cart
• -If its in () its assumed data

13
Energy Consumption Cont.

• -(15 C.O.W. in the school)42 kilowatts in a day
  per C.O.W630 Kw per day to charge the laptops
• -630 Kilowatts per day 7.77 cents per kilowatt
  48.95 per day
• -(275 days in between start and finish of
  school)48.95 per day 13,461.53 saved

14
Responsibility

• The students are responsible for charging their
  laptops at home every night so that they have a
  full battery for the next day. If a student needs
  to charge their laptop during flex on a daily
  basis they will lose their privilege to loan a
  laptop.

15
The Savings

• With the electricity that we are saving, we are
  also saving money. The high school every year
  will save 13,461.53 per year.

16
Leftover Budget

• With the amount of money that is saved the school
  will be able to replace old laptops that are
  starting to die off. Also their will be enough to
  start funding a different expense.

17
In Conclusion

• This will cut down on the electricity cost and it
  could save a lot indirectly such as paper and
  text books because you can use the laptops as
  substitutes.

Conclusion
23
Marquee Advertisement

• The marquee that sits outside the school
  consumes a rather large amount of energy. We
  propose that the marquee not only displays
  upcoming events but also advertisements for local
  companies.

24
Marquee math

• Marquee yearly cost - 1900
• 5 advertisements the advertisers paying 70
  biweekly
• 570 biweekly 350 biweekly
• The marquee runs all day all year long 26
  biweekly weeks

25
Marquee Math (cont.)

• 35026 9100
• 9100-19007200
• The school would be gaining 7200 every year for
  allowing advertisements to run on the marquee.
