MI Green School Guide: project catalog
Lights down, savings up!

Schools can reduce energy use and save money by turning down the lights. Easy classroom projects, like making posters, can encourage your community members to turn off the lights when they leave rooms.

For schools that want to level up their energy savings, installing occupancy sensors and high-efficiency lightbulbs can also make an impact.
