Students audit their school’s energy usage, identify ways to reduce consumption, and design a rooftop solar PV system. They present their results through technical and commercial reports demonstrating the potential for sustainable transformation.
In this real-world sustainability project, students become energy consultants for their school. They begin by analyzing power consumption by examining utility bills and calculating the energy usage of major electrical devices and appliances. Once the baseline consumption is established, students explore strategies to reduce demand, such as replacing inefficient equipment, implementing smart usage policies, or promoting energy-saving habits among students and staff. The second phase introduces renewable energy planning: students measure the available rooftop area and design a solar PV panel layout, considering the sun direction and panel tilt. Using their calculations, they determine how much of the school’s energy needs can be met by the proposed solar system. The project concludes with preparing a professional technical report and a commercial analysis outlining savings, payback period, and environmental impact. This project builds analytical thinking, teamwork, environmental literacy, and applied engineering skills while empowering students to reimagine their school as a sustainable campus.
