Case Studies
- Jefferson High School, Oregon
Jefferson High’s AP Environmental Science program used Enviro Education Tools’ light meters to compare light intensity in various classroom window orientations. Students successfully designed an energy-efficient layout for plant growth using real-time data, resulting in a local award for sustainable education practices. - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Graduate students used our lux meters in a semester-long greenhouse energy optimization project. The system helped them identify underlit zones and adjust lighting schedules to reduce energy consumption by 18%, using data visualized through our desktop software. - Toronto District School Board – Environmental Learning Centre
In partnership with the school board, our light meters were deployed in outdoor classrooms to help elementary students study plant-light relationships. Teachers integrated sensor data into inquiry-based lessons, increasing engagement and comprehension in ecological units.
