Students and teachers across Florida are gathering in the classroom to learn about energy conservation with Florida Power & Light Company’s (FPL) House of Savings Teachers’ Challenge. This new online game empowers students to learn about energy efficiency and save these solutions with their families at home.
How to Play: The top 50 K-12 teachers in Florida who answer the most questions correctly and quickly will win a DIY energy-saving kit and a class pizza party. Visit FPL.com/HouseofSavings by Oct. 14 to play and check the registration box for the Teachers’ Challenge to enter. Teachers are encouraged to bring the game into the classroom to enlist help from students and share the energy-savings knowledge.
Students and teachers will learn about easy ways to save money, such as:
- Program your thermostat between 75 to 78 degrees. For every degree above 75, you can save 3-5% on cooling costs.
- Phantom energy users, like electronics that are “off” but still plugged in, can account for up to 5-10% of electricity usage in your home. Unplug your devices and appliances when you’re away.
- Level up your home with new LED light bulbs that save more than $70 in lighting costs.
- Wash your laundry on the cold water setting to save up to $.80 per load. About 90% of the energy used to do laundry comes from heating the dryer.
- Lower your water heater’s temperature from 140° to 120° to save 3-5%
FPL’s Newest Tool: An experience that’s interactive and educational for all ages, join FPL’s Energy Expert, Maria, and her robot sidekick, Saver, on a mission to get a virtual home’s energy usage back on track. Players navigate through four interactive rooms, tackling challenges and answering energy-related questions on a mobile device or desktop computer.
