Introduction to IUSES

1. Introduction to IUSES Intelligent Use of Energy at School The sole responsibility for the content of this presentation lies with the authors. It does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Communities. The European Commission is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information contained therein.

2. General objectives • Achieve a change of behaviour in energy use • Demonstrate that everyone can use energy more effectively even by getting the “low hanging fruit”.

3. General objectives • Give information to students and teachers about Intelligent Use of Energy • Reach students of different types of schools (Humanities, Technical, etc.) • Reach students in different ways (Media, experiments, etc.) • Assist teaching by providing sufficient teaching material

4. Parts of the IUSES Educational Kit The IUSES Toolkit tries to meet the needs of students as well as teachers by providing 6 different educational tools: • Buildings Handbook • Transport Handbook • Industry Handbook • Teachers Handbook • Experimental Toolkit • Multimedia DVD • European Energy Saving Award (EESA)

5. Handbooks The IUSES Educational Kit provides 4 Handbooks with the following content: • Building Energy Efficiency • Sustainable Transport & Mobility • Energy Efficiency in Industry • Teachers Handbook

6. Handbooks • Written information • Information on exercises, experiments and activities • Notes (tips, important information, etc.) • Case studies • References (origin of information) • Key points (summary) • Questions • etc.

7. Experimental Toolkit • Designed to meet the needs of tactile learning types • Should be used for a better comprehension of the different examples given in the Handbooks • Should help students to find out for themselves the effects of different energy saving measures

8. Multimedia DVD • Spaces • Personalised (energy spaces, games, etc) • Rules • Technical and scientific details, etc. • Behaviours • Videos, multimedia graphics, multiple choice tests etc.

9. Ways of Learning Doing Watching Reading Listening

10. Different approaches

11. Humanities – Basic • Use of Level I information • Reading, Translation or retelling of different passages (language classes) • Use exercises and questions in the Handbook to repeat the content • Carry out simple calculations based on the examples in the Handbooks (maths) • Smaller experiments for science classes • Use of the “Spaces” part from the DVD

12. Humanities – Advanced (1) Basic information + • Use Level II information in the Handbooks • Possibility to let Students work through different parts of the Handbook for themselves and report them to the class (exercises, questions) • Discussing different questions in the Handbooks in a group work (language or science class)

13. Humanities – Advanced (2) Basic information + • Use of Web links to get further information • Use of advanced experiments for science classes • Use of the “Behaviours” and “Rules” part from the DVD

14. Business approach – Basic • Use of Level I information • Reading, Translation or retelling of different passages (language classes) • Discussion of different energy efficiency measures presented in the Handbooks on an economic basis (saving potential, etc.) • Carry out simple cost calculations based on the examples in the Handbooks • Use exercises and questions to repeat • Use of the “Spaces” part of the DVD

15. Business approach – Advanced Basic information + • Use Level II information in the Handbooks • Use of the advanced experiments in the experimental toolkit • Work through the management parts of the Handbooks and implement Management tools at your school • Use of Web links to get further information • Use of the “Behaviours” and “Rules” part of the DVD

16. Technical approach – Basic • Use Level I information • Translation of the more technical parts of the Handbooks to get used to technical terms (language classes) • Carry out calculations based on the examples in the Handbooks • Carry out simple experiments • Use of the “Spaces” part from the DVD

17. Technical approach – Advanced Basic information + • Use Level II information in the Handbooks • Technical parts of the Handbooks • Use of Web links to get further information • Use of advanced experiments (e.g. paper making, etc.) • Use of the “Behaviours” and “Rules” part of the DVD
