THE Journal: Fourth and fifth graders have persuaded their Minnesota school to switch to LED lighting after assessing light usage and expense in a class project. The elementary students in Northfield's Prairie Creek Community School studied lighting and energy use in class for several months, including measuring current usage.
As part of that work, they calculated how much the school could save if it adopted LED lighting inside and outside, according to reporting by Northfield News. The total: about a third less energy and $4,000 a year in energy bill savings. Armed with a grant, the school was able to do a retrofit.
