Wow, thanks Jake for doing all of this!

Some notes just for making a record to think about:

When I left sometime between midnight and 1am, I turned off:
- light in the utility room (23W)
- lights in the kitchen (46W: likely got turned back on though)
- La Commune bright lights (1400W: i don't understand why these are so often on, as the switches are so hard to get to, requiring going behind the bar - also, the one light near the door, with the switch by the ballroom, is sufficient as a nightlight)
- ballroom bathroom light (23W)
- stage lights (490W)

I also regularly turn off basement and ballroom lights after meetings and public school classes - maybe a note to all organizers of meetings and classes to turn off lights when they're done using the space would be helpful.

Would probably be good also to have some nice lamps in the basement for the 1-2 people often in there reading.

fwiw, sudo supports the proposal to buy motion-sensor lights, is looking into alternative, low-power lighting for our space, and has a few folks eager to explore solar options for the roof.

Refrigerators also are energy hogs and the ones in the upstairs kitchen are old and probably very inefficient.
