#5 reduce electricity cost

On November 5th, we discussed the topic that we must reduce the electricity cost in PUK. The panels were Shiori, Miyo, Kazue, Azusa, and Jeff.
The electricity cost in this university is increasing year by year. Keiko Kiyota, who works in PUK showed the graph about the amount of electricity consumption in PUK. Keiko said that the cost was very expensive and we had to reduce the cost. So, she offered that we set the temperature 28℃ in summer, and set 18℃ in winter. Then, Ryoichi Shinohara who is a professor in PUK said that 28℃ in summer and 18℃ in winter is not good, and we had to find alternative system. Mariko Uemura who is a student this university said that cutting cost is important, but we paid enough money for this university.
After that, Takashi Sakaguchi offered to set the air condition’s temperature 26℃ in summer and 20℃ in winter. However, Keiko said we needed another way to reduce electricity consumption. And then, Mr. Shinohara offered solar panel.
We discussed the way to reduce electricity cost. I think solar panel is too expensive. So, we have to find another way. In this discussion, Kiyota suggest to raise school expense. But, I disagree with it. We pay money for this university every year and the cost is not cheap. As a result, Ayumi (Sachi?) suggest that to set electric fan in our classroom ceiling. I think that this is one of the ways to reduce the cost. I have an opinion about the way to reduce the cost. In this university, there are many dim bulbs in classrooms. So, if we reduce the number of them, we can reduce the cost.
