Idea Generation (POSSIBLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS (Smart Thermostats (Pros…

- - - - Ensure that the air-conditioning is not overused for no reason
    - - Don't change the amount of energy that the thermostats are using when they actually are on.
  - - - Ensure that lights are always turned off when people are not in a classroom
    - - Doesn't change the amount of electricity the lights are using when actually turned on
  - - - Means that lights are used less, therefore saving energy.
    - - Not 100% reliable, as people can easily ignore an app like this
  - - - There would be no further energy wasted due to lights
    - - People have not yet evolved to see in the dark, and so it would be hard to do work without lights.
  - - - More efficient - uses less energy and individual lights may last longer
    - - This process would be expensive
      - Not actually a digital solution
- - - - Ensures that taps are not left running
    - - Doesn't encourage or make people aware of how much water they are using and the harm this is having on the environment.
  - - - Gives data about how much water is being used and where
    - - Doesn't actually stop people from using too much water
- - - - Ensures that waste ends up in the right bins
    - - These would have to be installed everywhere in order to be effective
      - Would be complicated to make
