Why an ENERGE Club?
To motivate your school to adopt energy-efficient actions that will have a long-term impact, the decisions needed must (1) fit the technical context of the school and (2) represent the preferences and values of most of the school. Greengage helps with monitoring the values and preferences of the school as well as the technical context, while the EC is responsible to make the ‘smart energy’ decisions for the school.
What does the ENERGE Club do?
ENERGE Club uses the knowledge from Greengage to:
- Make decisions on what activities should be organised.
- Make decisions on the format of the activities: yearly, per season, per month
- Make decisions on who is leading the activities: students, teachers, management staff
- Coordinate, promote and execute activities
- Report the success and lessons learned of the activities done for future ENERGE Clubs
Greengage provides the following knowledge:
- Real time and historical data of how the school technical behaves: indoor climate comfort and energy use.
- Periodical reports to indicate school diverse participation in collecting data as well as frequent participation in the different areas with developed skills.
- Periodical reports with information on what are the school preferences, experiences and opinions about the current comfort and use of energy as well as about interventions.
