versity campus has 200 classrooms and 400 faculty offices. The classrooms are equipped with 12 fluorescent tubes, each uming 110 W, including the electricity used by the ballasts. The faculty offices, on average, have half as many tubes. The us is open 240 days a year. The classrooms and faculty offices are not occupied for an average of 4 h a day, but the lights are on. If the unit cost of electricity is $0.175/kWh, determine how much the campus will save a year if the lights in the classrooms aculty offices are turned off during unoccupied periods. lights in the classrooms and faculty offices are turned off during unoccupied periods, the campus will save $ per yr.
