When your school signs up to join the Energy Smart program, all second, fifth and eighth grade students (as well as school staff) will receive free take-home energy-saving kits. The kits contain measures to help save energy and money at home while encouraging energy conservation throughout your New Orleans community.
Here are the free measures that will be included in your energy-saving kit:
- One 1.5 gallon-per-minute (GPM) low-flow fixed showerhead
- One self-adhesive foam weatherstrip
- One 1 GPM bathroom aerator
- One advanced power strip 5-outlet
Altogether, this program will save over 797,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy this year.
This program is provided free of charge to your school by Energy Smart and is a comprehensive energy efficiency program developed by the New Orleans City Council and administered by Entergy New Orleans, LLC. In order to administer the program, we must verify all the awesome energy savings above!
Every single student who gets a kit is sent home with a Home Energy Survey to help them install the measures with their family and connect their new energy learnings to their real-life. We ask each kit-participating teacher to gather the Home Energy Surveys and return them to us. In exchange, each teacher will receive a $50 mini-grant.
Do your part for the environment and sign up for Energy Academy today to start receiving your free kits.
