ESave Ready-to-go 2.0: Energy Efficiency Training Kit
Turn energy efficiency into a hands-on investigation with the ESave Ready-to-go 2.0: Energy Efficiency Training Kit from leXsolar. Students measure electricity use, heating, indoor air quality, water consumption, and lighting to identify opportunities for conserving energy and resources in schools, homes, and other real-world environments.
Energy efficiency becomes much more meaningful when students can measure the environment around them. The ESave Ready-to-go 2.0: Energy Efficiency Training Kit provides the instruments and learning activities needed to investigate how electricity, heating, ventilation, water, and lighting contribute to resource and energy consumption.
Rather than relying only on tabletop demonstrations, students can use measurement instruments throughout a classroom or school to collect real-world data. Temperature and humidity sensors, a CO₂ monitoring station, energy meters, a luxmeter, an infrared thermometer, and a flowmeter allow students to evaluate building conditions and identify potential areas for improvement. Several measurements also support data logging, giving learners an opportunity to collect and analyze changes over time.
Activities connect these measurements to broader topics such as primary and secondary energy, electricity generation, global energy consumption, climate change, heating and ventilation, standby electricity consumption, water use, and efficient lighting. The result is a practical platform for school energy-saving projects and interdisciplinary STEM investigations.
