Abstract

In the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro campus, electrical energy is utilized in many areas and it’s insufficient in distribution. Thus it should be ordinarily used judiciously. However, it is found to be expended extravagantly within the community. This study is an awareness campaign on energy efficiency on the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro campus. A survey of the Federal Polytechnic community was carried out to identify areas where energy can be saved. Energy efficiency opportunities were identified on the polytechnic campus and this includes offices, corridors, walkways, water pumping centres, lecture rooms and theatres and so on. Practical suggestions were proffered on achieving energy efficiency. These include use of human efforts and application of technical devices such as occupancy sensors, float switches and replacement of certain energy-inefficient devices. Energy policy is suggested to be put in place in the Federal polytechnic Ilaro community. People should be involved in implementing the policy. This will greatly reduce the total energy consumption on the polytechnic campus. The practices suggested in this study can be extended to residential and commercial areas around the country
