Question 4
Use the following rating scale and criteria to rate your school’s energy resources:
• Availability (Score 1 for poor and 5 for excellent.)
• Reliability (Score 1 for extremely unreliable and 5 for extremely reliable.)
• Cost (Score 1 for very expensive and 5 for extremely affordable.)
• Environmental impact (Score 1 for very high and 5 for very low impact.)
An example has been done for you.
| Energy resource | Availability | Reliability | Cost | Environmental impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electricity | 5: Plentiful | 5: Reliable, as it is from the main grid | 2: Expensive, charged per unit; the electricity bill of the entire school is high every month | 1: This energy comes from a coal power station, so there is an increase in the emission of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants, which speeds up climate change |
