This document discusses Atlee High School's energy consumption and efforts to increase energy efficiency. It provides statistics on the school's 2010 and 2011 energy costs. It also examines potential areas for improvement like heating/cooling systems, lighting, and reducing heat loss around doors. The Green Team is working on weatherstripping and encouraging energy efficient behaviors. Students are being involved through recycling programs and conversations about waste reduction.

2. Under the fearless leadership of Glenn GardnerYes this is the same guy! The Green Lantern

3. Atlee’s Current Energy ConsumptionAccording to the U.S. Energy Information Administration – Report Released: Jan. 14th, 2011Average Virginia price per Kilowatt-hour was 8.65 CENTS2010 school year Atlee spent approximately $295,070.8762011 school year Atlee has spent thus far $139,656.672December alone Atlee spent $30,287.456

4. Heat Loss in BTU’s/Hour: = Surface Area x ∆T (in °F) R- ValueR-Value of Air ≈ .1 (or Less)For 60 Doors -> Surface Area = 27ft²ExamplesLoss 1 = 27/.1 x 20°(20° difference) = 5,400 BTU’s/HrLoss 2 = 27/.1 x 50°(50° difference) = 13,500 BTU’s/Hr

5. Energy AssessmentProblem Areas for Atlee Heating and Cooling Systems LightingHanover is replacing the lighting system this summer

6. What is the Green Team working on? Weather StrippingAsking teachers to volunteer to use only 1 light switch or use natural light. Please maintain the HVAC system at its current settings.We are open to suggestions.

7. What is Atlee doing well?Recycle BinsRuriteens collecting Recycling We would like to add can and bottle bins in the commons.

8. Getting the students involved in the process…Promoting 21st Century Skills by starting the conversation with students about the global awareness of recycling and waste.Ask them to be less wasteful and model that behavior within the class. Print 2 sided Print 2 page on one side
