This initiative seeks to achieve the following:
- ▪ Facilitate a change in behaviour towards energy efficiency and conservation;
- ▪ Using simple EEC materials to ensure students gain the right behavioural and attitudinal change to ensure sustainability of energy efficiency and conservation efforts at pre-tertiary levels both in schools and homes;Some engaging activities that are being implemented under the EEC module for pre-tertiary students comprise the following:
a. Simple classroom energy audit – students are trained under this sub- task to conduct simple energy audits of their classrooms by analysing the use of lights, fans, and any other available electronic devices. A pre- defined template is given to an identified EEC Champion to track energy consumption patterns and identify opportunities for conservation, such as switching off unused lights and unplugging devices.
Short Profile
b. Renewable energy modelling – this initiative is focused on the Senior High School level where we engage and support students to build simple renewable energy models, like solar ovens, wind turbines, or small hydro-powered systems, to demonstrate alternative sources of energy and discuss their benefits and applications.
c. Energy-saving campaign posters – under this initiative, students are trained to design posters or infographics that highlight energy-saving tips and promote energy-efficient behaviours within the school. These visuals are displayed around campus to raise awareness among the school community.
d. Home energy efficiency checklist – as a follow-up to the classroom- level audit, students are assigned to complete an energy efficiency checklist at home, identifying areas where energy can be saved, such as unplugging devices or using energy-efficient light bulbs. They then share their findings and actions with their classmates.
e. Annual energy efficiency and conservation project (EEC) festivals / fairs – a key annual activity under the EEC module is the hosting of the annual EEC festivals, where students present projects, models, and innovative solutions focused on sustainable energy use. Recognition and rewards are given to students who create outstanding and innovative projects in energy efficiency and conservation
