Energy Challenges challenges you!
Energy Challenges is a project where behaviour and technology come together, and young people make a difference! Young people in primary and secondary education are challenged to campaign in their way for energy saving and sustainability at their school! Young people playfully discover their talent and become acquainted with the wonderful world of sustainability, energy, and technology.
Energy Challenges goes International!

Energy Challenges is a great project! It proves that energy-saving yields money. The thing I like is that youths actively participate in social challenges!
That is how it works
Each school forms a team of ‘Energizers’, who take the lead in making the school and environment more sustainable. During the campaign season, the teams will venture out in the world of energy, technology and sustainability and move from knowledge to action and results! The campaign season starts with a slamming kick-off and ends with a festive finale.
The energizers all get a big poster on which they can earn eight stars for their achievements. The steps of the stars challenge them to come up with original and creative actions which correspond to school, environment and the talents of the youths. Only by changing your behavior you can already save 15%!
Agenda
Our schools on the map
Nationwide project
Energy Challenges is a nationwide project. The project is active at this moment in the provinces of: Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, Noord-Holland, Noord-Brabant, Zuid-Holland and Utrecht.
TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD IN 3 STEPS!
1. Behavior
2. Technology
Technology plays a key role in Energy Challenges. Firstly, the technology makes energy consumption – and savings – immediately visible to the participating young people. Secondly, a technical inventory is carried out that contributes to making the school building more sustainable.
3. Saving (measurable & visible)
Participating schools will be equipped with smart meters and monitoring equipment. This provides real-time insight into gas, electricity and water consumption. The student, teacher or other administrators can log in online with a telephone or computer so that it is immediately visible at any time what the consumption is and the effect of the savings campaigns.
