Student Energy Patrols
Watt Watchers of Texas is a FREE energy efficiency program for Texas schools sponsored by the Texas Comptroller
of Public Accounts, State Energy Conservation Office, and the U.S. Department of Energy. The program is designed
to help school districts save energy and money by getting students involved. It is simple and effective! Students patrol
the halls of the schools reducing energy waste by turning off lights and leaving “tickets” for empty classrooms with
the lights on. Turning out the lights in a classroom during two unoccupied hours per day (lunch & after school) can
save $50 over a school year.
