S6 students conducted a precise analysis of the lighting system in Room D004, comparing traditional neon lamps with energy‑efficient LED alternatives.
The students:
- Calculated the power consumption of the existing neon lighting and the proposed LED lighting system
- Converted energy usage into financial cost, expressed in euros
- Determined that the switch to LED lighting would result in an estimated saving of approximately €1 per day in Room D004 alone
Based on these calculations, the students concluded that the initial cost of the LED lamps would be recouped within a few weeks, translating into both environmental and economic benefits.
In addition, students:
- Researched and evaluated the practical steps required to replace existing neon lamps with LED lighting
- Assessed feasibility within the wider school setting
As a next step, the students are seeking approval to extend this energy-saving initiative to all rooms as stated practice, contributing to further reduced energy consumption across the school.
