The Importance of Resource Conservation
5 Steps to conserve energy and water

1: Energy Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Appliances: Replace old appliances with Energy Star-rated models.
Water Install Low-Flow Fixtures: Replace showerheads, faucets, and toilets with low-flow models.

2:
Energy: Install LED Lighting: Replace incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs.
Water: Fix Leaks: Repair dripping faucets and leaky toilets. A single leak can waste hundreds of gallons of water per year.

3:
Energy: Programmable Thermostats: Install and properly set programmable thermostats to reduce heating and cooling costs.
Water: Use Water-Efficient Landscaping: Plant drought-resistant plants and use mulch to retain soil moisture. Implement drip irrigation systems.
4:
Energy: Seal and Insulate: Seal leaks in windows, doors, and ductwork.
Water: Shorten Shower Time: Reduce shower time to save water. Aim for showers under 5 minutes.
5:
Energy: Unplug Idle Electronics: Use power strips to easily turn off multiple devices. Unplug chargers and electronics when not in use to prevent phantom energy loss.
Water: Collect Rainwater: Use rain barrels to collect rainwater for outdoor use. Reduce dependency on municipal water for irrigation.
Equity Report
I live in Thousand oaks which is a very affluent and safe part of California a large percentage of residents living in home while others live in apartments. There is a small homeless population. There is no current process of gentrification ongoing but Thousand Oaks is innovating and attempting to better their residential and commercial districts.
Thousand Oaks which is about 1 hour away from LA

The total population is 124,265 people with a majority white population with the average age being 44 years old.
The area is also mostly residential with few business so it's the environmental index is very positive and clean. It a nice healthy place to live.
School Site Comparative Energy Analysis
Powerville Highschool data
This is the data for Powerville Higshcool Building data
This is the data for Powerville Higshcool Outdoor lighting data
This is the data for Powerville Higshcool pumping data
Details
Based on the data given in the graphs we can see that the building requires the most amount of energy and requires the most amount of money. We see that outdoor lighting and pumping do not requires any gas consumption and instead rely on electricity while the building needs both electricity and gas. The more efficient area is the building because it is able to utilize 2 different sources of energy while the other two sections are locked into one energy. One recommendation I would have it for outdoor lighting or pumping to attempt to tap into another energy source like the building did that way they can diversify the ways they are getting energy.

Details
Through the graphs for the total district we can see that once again district building has more total electricity consumption then other aspects such as outdoor lighting and pumping. Something I noticed was that on months that had high gas consumption it positively correlated with electricity consumption. On days that had lower gas consumption the electricity consumption was also lowered. Again throughout all schools outdoor lighting and pumping did not require any consumption. One area that where efficiency could be boosted is by lowering the gas or electricity consumption in the building area. Because we were able to find a positive correlation between electricity and gas consumption by reducing one of them we could achieve double the effect because the other would also get reduced. This would lower total costs because, for example, by using less gas we would also reach using less electricity.
Career
One career related to energy sectors is a transmission system operator (TSO) these jobs are entrusted with transporting energy in the form of natural gas or electrical power on a national or regional level, using fixed infrastructure.
They are very important to energy sectors because without them it would be incredbily difficult to transfer energy from place to place. Moving energy is very time consuming, expensive, and difficult, these operators circumvent these challanges by changing the energy into different forms and transporting them to the given destination before transforming them into the form they are needed for.
