\nHey, so, after marek's suggestion, I have moved our discussion here :)
\n
\nFor Research topics I suggested in my last message: ways of saving electricity (i.e. for our school, how much electricity villages in Nepal use (so we can compare our usage to theirs) and also the effects of wasting electricity (i.e. pollution).. any other suggestion?
\nAnna and ladina, since you are the head reseachers, could you delegate the topics or organise some other way of making sure we have all the research?
\n
\nSo, we dont need a watt meter, thats good, but should we still check whether we can at all get hold of the general watt meter for the whole DCS?
\n
\nOtherwise, in terms of research, i've found out how to convert watts into carbon emissions (so we dont need to find that) and I've also found a website on a very efficient light bulb (one way of saving electricity).
\n
\nThanks Sita","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"15731210","body":"Anytime ;)
\nand i just asked my mum and she said the the watt counter should be in the storage room next to the girls bathroom, but we have to asked some before entering it, so we could callculate (with help of the web page and the watt counter)the estimitate percentage of the total watt consumption used for liting in the building.
\n
\n- i make sure that we have a measure tape, but my mum mentioned that the DSC has an estimitate of 1200 squaremeters, but she is gona tell me 2morow exactly... so we might dont need to measure at all :D","dateCreated":"1256144014","smartDate":"Oct 21, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"MichaelaMa","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/MichaelaMa","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"15731792","body":"thats great, so this means we probably wont have to spend as much time doing the experiment on friday and can do more research and poster making.
\nAlthogh we can maybe also ask the caretakers some general questions\/make some observations about lighting use in the building, which we dont necessarily have to include in the calculations, but which we can write about in our 'evaluation'of the DSC: e.g. in how many rooms are there lights on but no one is in them, how long does the building stay open at night\/when does it open in the morning, how many lights could be reduced to give the same lighting effect,etc.. can you guys think of any more we might need?","dateCreated":"1256144850","smartDate":"Oct 21, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"Sitae","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Sitae","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"15770646","body":"We don't need to necessarily ask the caretakers about the types of bulbs that are used. Instead we can use my height to check the values on the bulbs themselves.
\nHowever we should ask how much electricity costs (probably per kW) since I couldn't find it on the internet and to calculate the yearly costs on the first website, we need to know this figure.
\nWe should also find out how energy is used over the weekend. Maybe we could ask one of the caretakers to check the watt meter over the weekend?","dateCreated":"1256198744","smartDate":"Oct 22, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"Marekr","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Marekr","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"15783094","body":"ok, yes i forgot we had your height marek, that makes things easier :) ... yes i think that asking the caretakers to measure a reading over the weekend is a good idea. Then we will have to do the final calculations (i.e. total cost and watt count) only after the weekend. That means that we will probably have less time next week to work on the poster as we will be doing the calculations, so we should probably start on the poster tomorrow.
\nSo if everyone could bring all the research they've done for tomorrow that would be great! thanks","dateCreated":"1256225378","smartDate":"Oct 22, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"Sitae","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Sitae","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"15783170","body":"oh and for the second website you dont need to fill in the cost of the bulbs, so we dont necessarily need it, but it might be a good idea to do it anyway so our figures will be more precise..","dateCreated":"1256225475","smartDate":"Oct 22, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"Sitae","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Sitae","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"15786000","body":"Ok i got the follwoing data from my mum:
\n-the area of the DSC
\n-the total yearly watt usage of the DSC
\n-the yearly costs foer electryty of the DSC
\nin case we taling aswell about the eviroment and the effect electricity production has on them; i have the persentage of what the electricity used in school is made out of ( ak.solar energy, nuclear energy etc.)
\nand the care takeer wil leave the watt counter room open for us tomorrow :D(however i dont know if u still want to do that if we have the total yearly watt use...)","dateCreated":"1256228567","smartDate":"Oct 22, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"MichaelaMa","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/MichaelaMa","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"15786082","body":"Nobod of you asked for especial equipment!
