Joint action in the Province of Genova
[EN] Within the Province of Genova, 5 small municipalities located in the same area decided to join climate protection efforts and develop a common strategy. A multi-municipal integrated SEAP was approved by the local councils in June 2012, with implementation to start soon. This includes actions that they would not have been able to deal with on their own. Other notable examples of joint actions led by the Province through the Energy for Mayors project are also described.

About Education

The ENNEREG Sustainable Energy Themes pages are currently in the process of being developed. Further information about Education will be available soon.

Technological & Instrumental Solutions

Education in the field of Energy

Increased energy prices, a critical situation of energy supply, natural disasters because of the fact of climate change and other problems affect us all. The EU has responded on this with a tough climate and energy policy which is more and more under expansion.

  • But who except some experts is informed about this in detail?
  • And how will we react without conveying the 20-20-20 goals to the public?
  • Who needs to do what to tackle climate change?
  • And do we need to involve new technologies or are there ways to start with intelligent energy right now?

All these questions show that without education nothing will change in the field of energy. Intelligent energy education is the key to change behavior and to break outdated structures. It is like a common theme which accompanies all actions which needs to be done and covers all kind of energy subjects.

There are three different, but sometimes also overlapping areas where education takes place:

“Classical education” – Energy at Schools & Universities

Children are very aware of energy related topics. Through their parents, their surroundings and the media they pick up a first impression on how to deal with the environment. The sooner energy education gets a self-evident part of children’s’ life, the better. Schools can offer the opportunity to deepen this knowledge and to show children the connection between energy, science, environment and climate. Important in this part is the role of teachers: Teachers need to be equipped with the appropriate education material according to the learning level and subject they teach. In addition there needs to be a lively exchange between schools and others about this topic. By including energy education in the lessons teachers give our children the right input on their ways to help on achieving a greener future.

On a higher education level intelligent energy has a second positive affect apart from teaching energy efficient behavior: It gives access to a wide working field and enhances the chance for young people to find a job after finishing their studies. Furthermore universities are the place for creation, inspiration, research and innovation. Within the scope of science, new energy technologies can be developed and tested and by introducing them to the market they will boost the economy.

Special attention should be paid to partnerships between universities and the business sector, where energy education can have a positive impact on both of them.

“Professional education” – Energy at work

Many people have a profession associated with energy – either directly or indirectly. Companies training their staff and bringing them up to date with current energy developments will benefit in a long term perspective. The correct management of energy provides a competitive advantage which can only be achieved through education. Energy efficient consumption will reduce cost, while education is a rather small investment for companies. Beside from the economical profit, it is part of the collective responsibility towards the environment.

Companies working on improving their energy performance often fall back on external professional consulting companies and training providers such as energy agencies who profit from their expertise and are able to teach where it is needed. The EUs’ goal is it to have knowledge clusters where different areas cooperate and benefit from each other.

“Public education” – Energy at home

The difference between schools, universities, workplaces and private householders is that nobody is there to guide or to supervise. Private householders are not easy to reach, but they are also the ones who can contribute the most by being educated on how to save energy. There are two possible ways that householders can improve their energy behavior: First by replacing their technical equipment at home through the right consumers’ behavior, and secondly through reducing energy consumption through behavior change. Both require somebody to convey the information on how to achieve this to them. With help of the media, big campaigns and competitions can be started to inform people, preferably in their native language, about the state of the art technologies and reducing energy consumption. Through the media good practice can be transmitted and stimulate the reaction of other people. However the key to delivering these is not simply providing information or self-motivation to inspire behavioral change. We must design programmes that focus on specific behaviors and ensure realisation of the change and this can be a challenge.

What Your Region Can Do!

Here are some examples:

  • Provide teachers with good contacts, links etc. where to  find teaching material on energy education (see link list below);
  • As legislator/policy maker:  Involve energy in your agenda for education policy;
  • Help on building co-operations between schools, universities and other stakeholders by giving access to regional network;
  • Offer incentives like scholarships for students in the field of energy;
  • Start public competitions and campaigns by involving the media; Publish your climate strategy and distribute it;
  • Organize energy training for your own staff and promote for professional training institutions to get in touch with companies;
  • Organize “open days” where people can learn from public or private operators working with energy topics how to reduce consumption etc.;
  • Stay in close interchange with experts from universities or the business sector to improve own knowledge about energy and to stay up to date

Specific project categories identified as the focus for Intelligent Energy Education Topic are:

  1. Education for energy awareness focussed at children/teachers/students – this topic focuses on the traditional avenues for education through schools, universities and colleges and includes activities and support for both the educator and the learner
  2.  Education for energy awareness focussed at trades/craftsmen – this topic focuses on educating people who have left traditional education but undertake a job or trade which could implement or advise on energy efficiency or renewable energy measures.
  3. Education for energy awareness focussed at manufactures and those involved in production and design processes – many education topics focus on inspiring the public to make energy efficient choices in the products, services and transportation they select. My focusing education at the original designers and manufacturers we can reduce this burden and make the process simpler for the consumer.
  4. Education for energy awareness communicators such and non-energy related professionals – this topic aims to provide the tools for people from all professions to communicate and deliver effective messages and behavioural changes.
  5. Eco-Friendly agriculture and land management – for many of the regions farming, the landscape and community structure are important parts of our economic and social structure. Education about how sustainable energy and agriculture, community and landscape can be integrated is important to motivate behavioural change.

EU Policy & Legislation

Education is something which cannot start early enough. Education is also something which is never too late to start with. Therefore the EU developed the Strategy of Lifelong Learning which reflects that EU politicians have realized that education is the fundamental for Europe’s competitiveness. With each EU Member State responsible for its own education and training systems, Union- level policies are designed to support national actions and help address common challenges and demand joint responses so that countries can benefit from sharing experiences. Education and training are essential to the development of today’s knowledge society and economy. The long-term strategic objectives of EU education and training policies are (1):

  • Making lifelong learning and mobility a reality;
  • Improving the quality and efficiency of education and training;
  • Promoting equity, social cohesion and active citizenship;
  • Enhancing creativity and innovation, including entrepreneurship, at all levels of education and training.

Policy & Legislation Resources

Action Plan for Energy Efficiency: Realising the Potential - COM(2006)545 final

This Action Plan outlines a framework of policies and measures aiming to intensify the process of realising the over 20% estimated savings potential in EU annual primary energy consumption by 2020. The Plan lists a range of cost-effective measures, proposing priority actions to be initiated immediately, and others to be initiated gradually over the Plan's six-year period. Further action will subsequently be required to reach the full potential by 2020.

Make your building smile - Renewable energy in buildings

Publication [EN] This publication from the European Commission (2009) covers 25 projects funded by the IEE programme within the Renewable Energy sector. It shows that although buildings are amongst the greatest consumers of energy, they also have the greatest potential to reduce the EU’s conventional energy consumption by combining energy-saving measures with renewable energy sources, the total consumption of conventional energy in buildings can be reduced to zero. Buildings can even become net producers of clean energy since they can be fitted with solar water and space heating and cooling.
