Saving energy in schools: renewable energy

Setting up a renewable energy generation project can benefit your school in a number of ways.

Seeing solar panels, wind turbines or micro-hydro turbines in action gives students firsthand knowledge of how natural resources can be harnessed to help power their school. Energy outputs and performance can be measured and analysed over time to show, for example, how weather affects the amount of energy generated. In this way, learning opportunities are created across a range of curriculum areas and students develop an
appreciation of the real value of energy.
