Project Impact
Throughout their project timeline, SMKTM installed an LED Ecosystem at two blocks, a rainwater harvesting system, and a 5Rs campaign. By May 2024, 180 LED lights were installed and even photocells were also installed on spotlights around the school. In the same month, a 1,200-litre tank was installed. The water collected was used to water two gardens via a timed sprinkler system.
Sepanjang tempoh pelaksanaan projek, SMKTM telah memasang Ekosistem LED di dua blok, sistem penuaian air hujan, dan menjalankan kempen 5R. Menjelang Mei 2024, sebanyak 180 lampu LED telah dipasang, termasuk pemasangan fotosel pada lampu sorot di sekitar sekolah. Pada bulan yang sama, tangki berkapasiti 1,200 liter telah dipasang. Air yang dikumpulkan digunakan untuk menyiram dua taman melalui sistem penyiram berjadual.
