Help college students living in apartments convert to LED is worthwhile. Students can be contacted at the beginning of the school year and offered LED lighting, perhaps from a tent set-up at the entrance of the complex at the beginning of the school year, or somewhere on campus.
This effort can be a big help.
For example, in our community, there are three apartment complexes that house students. One of the complexes has 319 units. Based on our estimates, helping each unit convert 12 bulbs (in overhead fixtures) saves each unit over $ 200 in electricity charges.
Converting just half of the units would reduce energy consumption by nearly a half-million KW and reduce their spending on electricity for lighting by over $ 30,000 annually. The savings add up!
Local campus organizations, such as Design Clubs or student community service organizations may be great partners for this effort.
