EnergyNet U.S.
A nonprofit organization offering standards-based, technology-enriched classroom projects for a moderate fee.
EnergyNet empowers students to create verifiable energy savings in their schools, homes and community. EnergyNet offers teaching material appropriate for all grade levels and the materials are aligned to the Learning Standards for each state. The fee for services is usually paid by sponsors. Elementary students enjoy finding ways for their homes and schools to save energy through our Energy Detectives project. Middle School students become Energy Coaches as they reduce energy and coach elementary students. Home Energy Makeover is designed for students in Math and Family & Consumer Sciences classes (grades 5-12). This six-week unit incorporates economics, technology, teamwork and presentation skills. Students will learn to manage a home energy budget, reduce a home's energy use while increasing comfort, make cost-effective energy remodeling choices and present their suggestions in compelling ways. Students in grades 6 through 12 have three additional choices: Energy Auditing provides a great background on the many ways students can reduce the costs of energy in their homes and schools; Community Energy Consultants assists students in sharing this knowledge with their community by conducting energy audits on any number of local buildings; and Energy Engineers involves students in the process of designing energy efficiency into school renovation and construction programs.
