European Network of Energy Transmission Sustainable Schools

After too many hours of thought…Ι have a problem…I know it now!!!

I THINKING

The energy poverty in European communities…

Walking around the neighborhoods of Athens…

…its time to concern…its a serious problem to solve…its time to find a solution…its time to show interest…its time to start!!!

Energy building study

The program we used :ΤΕΕ ΚΕΝΑΚ

The results : Current energy building class : ΕOur goals – scenarios :Future energy building class : Β+ or A

Results and scenarios

Building interventions - scenarios :1. Thermal insulation on the external sides of the walls (scenario 1)building energy class DTotal estimated cost 40,000€Estimated pay-back period 55 yearsPrimary energy savings % 5,0%2. LED lights and PVs (scenario 2) building energy class B+ Total estimated cost 50,000€Estimated pay-back period 10 yearsPrimary energy savings % 70,0%3. LED lights, PVs and thermal insulation on the external sides of the walls (scenario 3)building energy class ATotal estimated cost 90,000€Estimated pay-back period 15 years Primary energy savings % 76,0%

B. EDUCATIONAL ASPECT

Studying the energy issue…… pupils… parents… society… world…

The educational system :Forming educational activities…

Transferring the knowledge and the mentality of making a green community…Acting and interacting with others concerning the life inside the green school building…

Transform the children into ambassadors of a green user behavior…Parents can learn through their children’s behavior realizing the same actions to the domestic life…

Studying the energy issue…… pupils… parents… society… world…

The educational activities :Realizing a small film on environmental sustainability …

Making an exhibition …Arranging a workshop transmitting the know how…

Providing to all young participants the essential technical skills for their production …The final work would be demonstrated and set by pupils, teachers and the local community…

Studying the energy issue…… pupils… parents… society… world… The educational purpose:Form the children’s mentality about the environment and the correct use of energy…

Engage parents to become members of a localsustainable energy cooperative…Train the parents into reducing energy consumption at their houses…

engaging parents to learn first and then to invest the savings into a domestic energy cooperative…

All about money...• European financial programs • CSR or institutes• Crowd funding• Economic reinforcement from the municipalities or the goverment• Energy cooperatives – communities (a cooperative of parents, pupils, teachers)
