Energy efficiency and energy saving are key elements for the transition to a renewable energy supply. The goal of leXsolar ESave is to allow students to experiment to find out and use the saving potential at its best, without any loss of comfort.

Thanks to the leXsolar-ESave Ready-to-go, discussions about energy becomes more tangible. The approach is holistic: the students focus first on issues like global energy consumption, climate change or energy consumption at private households. Based on the question-at-hand, students will make measurements based on the problem; for instance things like room temperature or climate, water and energy consumption, etc. The goal is to foster the ability to identify potentials for improvements and savings.

Training concepts include:

Understanding Energy

• Primary- and secondary energy, resources and reserves

• Humidity

Water

• Learn more about your school – Where does drinking water come from? Where does the used water go? What are the annual consumption & costs, etc.
• Hot water preparation
• Where is water consumed: correct behaviour

Electricity Consumption

• Learn more about your school – Which energy supplier are use? What are the annual consumption & costs?
• Electrical energy in everyday life
• Electrical energy in the kitchen
• Energy guzzler
