Multi-sockets with switches, a simple and effective solution

Categories: Energy
Summary of the action:
Appliances on standby mode account for 11% of the electricity bill. This standby represents "even more than the production of two nuclear reactors". Connecting computers to multi-sockets with switches reduces waste.
The objectives :
- Reduce power consumption
- Raise awareness among high school students
Setting-up details :
This action is simple to implement and very effective, it must be accompanied by awareness posters.
The best places to install the multi-sockets are the school's library and the computer room. For this installation, start by talking to the bursar and the librarian of your school.
Practical tips :
If you place them in the library, the librarian must agree to participate in the fight against energy waste and switch them off at the end of the day.
If you place them in the computer room, teachers should be informed to turn off the switches at the end of the class, for example with a sign next to their desk.
In both cases, it is important to place awareness posters for high school students with tips on how to limit the environmental impact of computer use.
