About

This project aims to make energy performance certificates more actionable and use them to reduce building energy consumption. Targeting teenagers, teachers, directors, janitors, and public landlords, the project involves two pilot high schools of the Greater Region. Students, alongside teachers, will monitor and understand their school’s energy usage and aim to reduce consumption by at least 15% without major renovations. Participants will receive basic training on energy efficiency and exchange ideas with other pilot schools. The methodology can also be applied to their homes, promoting “learning by doing.”
