Schools across the Noosa Shire are utilising their real time energy data to learn about energy efficiency through Zero Emissions Noosa’s exciting initiative Race to Zero.
The program utilises a mix of direct curriculum teaching with week by week lesson plans and a gamified approach which shows students how their real time energy decisions impact on emissions.
ZEN President Vivien Griffin said, “Schools are high energy consumers and the chance to curb wasteful energy use is important to the goal of reducing emissions across Noosa shire.“
Noosa locals may have heard Mark Purcell speak at several public forums around the shire about his “Electrify Everything” journey, and the money he has saved through installing solar panels, a home battery, and heat-pumps for air-conditioning, hot water and pool heating. Not to mention the savings he makes on fuel and maintenance from his electric vehicle.
