Energy in Education

Energy in Education offers a range of supports developed by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) in collaboration with the Department of Education and Skills designed to help school boards of management, principals, teachers, administrators, caretaking staff, pupils and parents to improve energy use practices, reduce school operating costs and protect the environment.

These supports include guides, workbooks, training courses and an advice, mentoring and assessment service tailored specifically for schools. The Energy in Education website http://www.energyineducation.ie/ offers a range of factsheets on topics including lighting, heating and IT as well as videos and on-line energy management tools. There is also information on on involving pupils and the wider community in the process of energy management and a section for schools boards of management, designers and contractors.
