Demonstrate how resources can be saved in private houses by using energy-efficient technologies and construction methods.
The students analyzed where the maximum amount of energy is used in everyday life. They estimated how much energy could be saved if energy-efficient technologies in houses, were used. Additionally, they collected used materials and thought about ideas how these can be used in private houses, e.g. as building materials, furniture, etc. The results and the models of the houses were prepared during the meeting in Norway in March 2013. In Norway the pupils also built models of energy efficient houses in practical workshops.

The pupils worked on their tasks during regular classes and in some cases in extracurricular courses, such as ecology- or science-clubs.

Work assignements for Norway

 * Make a short presentation about your region and your school.
 * Recycling: Collecting used materials. How can used materials be recycled in private houses, e.g. building materials, furniture, etc. Show your results in a small presentation.

Project Meeting in Penzberg
During the meeting in Penzberg, the pupils finalized their work. They put together a brochure in which they posted their results and conclusions of the whole project. The brochure can be downloaded from this website. Additionally to this theoretical work the pupils visited a company that produces energy efficient houses on very different scales - for private and for industrial use. See some of the images to make your own impression.
