1. Lights Out
Lights Out is the first project to run under the new Monash Energy Smart Program with more projects rolled out throughout the year. The Energy Smart program is starting with Lights Out for a number of reasons:
1. Lighting consumes 25% of Monash’s total electricity consumption.
2. Switching off a light is a simple, single action that anyone, across all campus can do.
Changing our behaviour and attitudes towards energy consumption is an important piece in the sustainability solution. Our individual actions affect how energy is consumed at Monash. Through simple changes we can greatly reduce the amount of energy consumed. It’s about breaking old habits and creating new ones.
Whilst changing light globes, replacing old equipment with more energy efficient models and other infrastructural improvements are one part of the solution to reducing energy consumption, changing our behaviour and attitude towards energy consumption is also important.
