Reducing School Energy Costs

March 20, 2020 By Carol Scheafer

School districts around the U.S. must fit their expenses within extremely tight budgets. In order to ensure adequate funding for teachers and educational programs, school districts must make sure they don’t overspend on monthly operating expenses.

While schools typically can’t cut out necessary expenses, it is possible to reduce the amount of money spent each month.

Smart Lights Reduce Energy Costs By 80% or More

Energy bills often represent one of the largest expenses for schools and school districts. Schools can significantly reduce their energy costs by switching to energy efficient LED lights. They can further reduce their energy costs by utilizing solar power to run these lights. Another excellent solution, Smart Lights allow users to track energy usage and turn off lights remotely. This provides an excellent solution for schools and school districts.

Smart Lights report status multiple times a day. Information regarding energy usage, equipment health, and status is available 24/7/365 on the Software. Users can quickly view status, turn lights on and off, and set schedules on any device that connects to the Internet.

Understanding the Importance of High Quality Lighting

Poor lighting in schools and district offices can cause multiple problems for students and staff. In addition to eyestrain and headaches, poor lighting has been associated with a higher rates of depression. It’s important that school districts take this into consideration when deciding whether to switch their lights.

LED lights provide high quality, reliable lighting for schools and district offices. The light emitted by LED bulbs allows students, teachers, and district administrators to complete tasks easily, without causing eyestrain or other issues commonly associated with poor lighting.
