Abella, Dominique MichelleBaquiano, Paolo Miguel Dimalen, Joshua KhaliLagura, KathreenaMancia, Abigail Faye Otadoy, John RaphaelTabao, Princess Nadzmyra Xyza
Objectives of the Study
• provide lighting facilities in dark areas
• significantly bring down electricity bills (by at least 10%)
• inspire people to further save on the use of electricity
• help save the planet’s resources• help the country’s economy• help people live in a healthy
environment
Electricity-Saving Scheme
• A Solar-Powered Bulb will be used instead of one lighting device in the morning
• Nine (9) Energy Saving Acts• “Unplug Me” tags will be
placed above outlets to serve as reminders
An innovation: A Solar-Powered Bulb• invented by Alfredo Moser, a Brazilian
engineer;• alternative to electricity-consuming light
bulbs;• made of an empty 1.5 liter soda bottle with
liquid bleach and purified water;• reflects the sunlight to the interior of the
household;• provide lighting during daytime in slum areas;• expected to last up to two (2) years before
change is needed;• tested and shown to produce as much light as
a 50 W incandescent bulb.

Solar-Powered Bulb
Nine (9) Energy Saving Acts• Use big appliances wisely;• Avoid standby mode in computers and
televisions;• Use the microwave to reheat the food instead of
the stove;• Clean the condenser coil of their fridge;• Cool liquids and food and cover them when
putting them in the fridge;• Position lamps between two corners;• Always keep the filters of the air conditioner and
refrigerator clean;• Defrost the ice in their freezer when it is ¼ inch
thick;• Position the fridge away from any source of heat
and create a 5 inch space all around the fridge.

Experimentation• Four members of our team recorded
meter readings every Monday morning for 6 weeks;
• The subjects applied the methods explained and shown above;
• The control group and the trial group are included;
• The control groups are the weeks wherein we did not apply any of our saving scheme;
• The experimental groups are our trial weeks wherein we applied our saving scheme.

Conclusion
• Based on observation (16.4%, 12.4% and 17%), we can conclude that there’s a significant decrease in electricity bills with the combined saving scheme:
1. Use of solar-powered bulb in mornings;
2. Application of nine saving tips and
3. Use of “Unplug Me” Tips
