Question

Part C An undergraduate class at Pennsylvania State University conducted an ecological assessment of one of their biology laboratory buildings in response to the question How is this building like an ecosystem?" The result of their assessment was a 52- page report outlining ways to reduce the ecological footprint of the Mueller Laboratory Building in the areas of energy use, water use, communications/computing furnishings/renovation, maintenance, and food. The students found ways to save an estimated $45,500 per year in the cost of energy alone for a building occupied by 123 scientists and support staff. Their data on the current use and potential savings in the energy component of the ecological footprint are shown in the graph.(Figure 1) Estimate the total energy use at the lab building and the total estimated savings.
