Goals
- Teach students about water conserving technologies
- Teach students about energy conserving technologies
- Reduce water use in restrooms by over 1.75 million gallons per year
- Reduce energy use by 80% in restrooms
- Provide students an inviting and hygienic washroom environment
Overview
The Bessborough Goes Green Bathroom Project was created to teach students about environmentally friendly renovations, reducing water and energy consumption, and how to reduce your environmental footprint. On average, conventional urinals waste 150000 gallons of water per year, and each toilet flush wastes 2-4 litres. This renovation would allow our school to conserve close to 2 million gallons of water per year, and reduce our energy consumption by close to 80% by using energy efficient hand dryers and sensor lights. The hands-free elements would also provide a more hygienic environment for students. Water and energy are very valuable resources that we, and future generations must protect. This project will serve as a learning project that reinforces curricular outcomes related to environmental awareness, conservation, green energy alternatives and technology applications to reduce environmental impact.
