Introduction to Project

Hello and welcome to this Blog! In the following months I am going to study energy efficiency. Over the last couple of years, energy has become a more and more important issue. Energy costs are rising rapidly, and traditional energy sources, like oil or coal, are vanishing. Global warming is becoming more and more real and consumption as well as the production of greenhouse gases are continuing to increase.
I decided to choose this as the topic of my project, since I want to learn about and create awareness about this worldwide issue. I am planning to conduct two workshops with students in my grade. In the first workshop I will explain the issue and introduce the instrument with which the students will measure the energy consumption in their households. Then, after evaluating the data which was collected, I will conduct a follow-up workshop. In this workshop I will talk about the results, and give useful advice for improving efficiency, regarding how best to minimize costs and reduce one's carbons footprint. This project will take place over several months and will be documented here.
