Lightbulb Brigade

In an effort to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, Ruch Outdoor Community School is engaging in projects to retrofit existing campus building with more energy efficient technology.  Students are working towards a complete phase out of incandescent light bulbs in favor of more energy-efficient lighting alternatives including Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) and Light Emitting Diode (LED).  In the beginning stages, Ruch plans to conduct a cost-benefit analysis to calculate energy and financial savings using Building Dashboard technology.
