Although the general public is in general aware of the unnecessarily high energy demand of our buildings, few people know how high the energy performance of the building where they live or work really is. Therefore, in 2006 the Active Learning education project was launched, during which educational material was drawn up for elementary school pupils and their teachers to allow them to monitor energy consumption in the school building, assess this consumption and propose specific measures to reduce it. This practical method helps pupils gain skills and knowledge about the possibility of actively reducing energy consumption by knowing the development of real energy consumption at their schools. The SEVEn Centre is involved in the project, along with other European countries within the framework of the Intelligent Energy Europe programme.
