Summary
The involvement of schools in a sustainable energy management was obtained operating jointly on the improvement of the building energy performance, on user behaviour and on the development of didactic projects. The approach was based on performance contracting to an external company the energy rehabilitation and management of all buildings of the local administration, mainly schools. The user behaviour was afforded by a Voluntary Agreement between schools and Administration, where the money saved through energy saving is allocated 50% to the schools itself. The Energy Agency supports didactic projects promoted by the teachers, with financial help from the local administrations.
Results
The expected energy saved by the performance contracting is 1.1 millions of cubic meters of methane, corresponding to 30.7 % of the total heat consumption. The energy produced by renewables corresponds to the substitution of 44,000 kWh of electricity and 60,000 m3 of methane per year, passing from 0,00% to %1,4% of the total energy consumption of the Province administration. The main economic benefit for the Province is the improvement of the heating facilities without investment costs.
Environmental benefits are estimated in 2,200 tons of avoided CO2.
The achieved behavioural changes are evidenced by the pupil's and student's attitude towards energy saving and control.
