Energy Managers and teachers
asked and NEED listened. The Energy
Survey Teacher Guide and Student
Guide were developed with school district energy management
and building occupant education in mind. These energy
audit activities teach students about building science
and energy management - using survey and data collection
tools.

Bank gives teachers the ability to customize evaluation
tools for their energy units.
