The document summarizes energy consumption data from several schools over two years. Graphs and tables show that most schools reduced their monthly energy consumption in the second year compared to the first, likely due to energy saving actions taken. The only exception was a school in Hungary which saw higher consumption the second year. Overall, the report indicates that measuring and tracking energy use, along with implementing conservation strategies, can help lower a school's energy costs and footprint.

1. FINAL REPORT ON ENERGY CONSUMPTION
I. A sum-up of the monthly energy consumption recorded in every school
during the two years of partnership
The first section of the final report deals with the individual situation in each
partner school, ranging both the causes for the recorded energy consumption and,
the solutions we have come up with, as well as the comparative graphs for the
two years of the partnership.
IV Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. KEN, Bielsko Biała, Poland
The steps we have already taken to save energy:
1. Switching off the light in the classrooms during the breaks, and in the halls during
lessons
2. We have put up slogans like “Protect the Earth”; “Switch off the Light”, etc over
switches in the school halls.
3. Also, we have adopted the policy of minimizing the time of airing classrooms so
that it’s short, but intensive
Future plans for saving energy:
1. Installing the system for automatic switching on and off the light
2. Monitoring the work of the computers and measuring their consumption of energy
per every working day
3. Exchanging windows in the whole building
4. Renovating the roof
5. Energy saving lighting; suiting lighting to the kind of work being done

2. Liceul Teoretic “Nicolae Iorga” Botoşani, Romania
Causes:
1. the buildings are relatively old (1969), the insulation is the original one
(brickwork and plaster);
2. two shifts (from Monday to Friday) from 8.00 AM to 8.00 PM. The auxiliary and
the administrative staff work from 6.00 AM to 10.00 PM.
3. in October and April natural light is not at its best availability ;
4. The electrical and heating systems from the school buildings are made in the
1970s - high levels of loss;
5. In just a few classrooms were the classical bulbs replaced with economical ones;
6. The gyms are rented throughout the week from 9.00 PM to 10.00 PM;
7. Lots of electrical appliances which function non-stop (fridges, freezers,
computers, laptops, etc.);
8. The window panels of the boarding school are made from wood (60%) and have
been in use since 1969.
Solutions:
1. Installing electrical sensors and taps in the bathrooms (done);
2. Replacing all the windows in the school with double glazed ones as well as the
outer doors (done);
3. Raising awareness of both students and teachers regarding the rules of saving
energy in school (all through the Partnership);
4. Providing Class A electrical appliances in order to replace the old ones which are
important consumers of energy (partially done)
5. Complete rehabilitation of the boarding school. (project)

3. Vrij Handels- en Technisch Instituut, Dendermonde, Belgium
Causes:
1. Our school consists of several buildings, most of them shared with other schools that
belong to the same ‘school community’. There is no separate measurement of energy for
the different schools in the community. We have however 1 building that is used only by
our school + school for adult education. We decided to include only this building in the
project, as we have separate energy meters here.
2. The insulation of the building is very poor. However, there are plans for renovation.
This renovation (better insulation + new windows) might be carried out during the time
of our project.
3. The energy source for heating the building is oil. Even if we only register the
electricity in the Partnership, we would like to continue our measurements of oil too. The
building is heated from October till the beginning of Easter holidays (end of March –
early April).
4. 12 % of the electricity supplied by our provider is ‘green energy’ from renewable
sources.
Solutions:
- promoting and implementing project activities;
- enforcing government policy towards cutting down energy consumption;
- recycling materials and using them instead of new ones
- carrying out the restoration of the building

4. Istituto Tecnico Geometri „Brunelleschi”, Agrigento, Italy
Causes:
1. 12 multimedia laboratories and a large bar.
2. numerous security exits, as the law requires, that have access to fireproof stairs,
so they are open for most of the morning, causing a huge heat dispersion
3. the roofs of the halls are very high and the cubature of the building is high
4. during the year we have had problems with the heating system so we have been
compelled to use electrical heating
5. the electrical system dates back to 1986 so it doesn’t permit the use of saving
energy bulbs but only neon lights.
6. the school has often pressed the Regional Province, owner of the building, to
install photovoltaic panels on the roof, that could be useful not only to reduce the
consumption ,but also to get profits and advantages.
7. a large gym that is used by private sport clubs and they use it until 10.00 p.m. for
a local and territory requirement
8. a large open space that, for safety reasons, is lighted all the nights
Solutions:
1. To install photovoltaic panels as soon as the province buys them. The school has
taken part to an European announcement that implies financial support to
schools to buy and install photovoltaic panels.
2. The school will do its best for a more rational use of electrical energy both in the
offices and in the places that are less used by students( Halls, corridors, etc)

CONCLUZII:
- All the graphs, except for one (the Hungarian school) clearly
indicate a reduction of the monthly energy consumption in the second year
of the project by comparison to the same months in the first year. It stands
to reason that this is due to the action taken by each partner school in order
to improve energy consumption.

9. II. The comparative analysis of the energy consumption recorded in the same
months (October to March, respectively) in each year of the Partnership
School Year 1 Year 2
Poland 186 176
Romania 11165.5 10318.3
Belgium 4624 2907.2
Italy 11496.2 10707.4
Bulgaria 6736.6 5845
Hungary 10561.6 12124.6
Turkey 2412.5 2184
It is obvious that the monthly energy consumption average decreased in the
second year by comparison to the first one in each and every school involved in the
Partnership, except for Hungary.
III. The comparative analysis of the energy consumption between October and
March in the first year and the second year, respectively, by referring it to the area
of each partner school.

CONCLUSION:
According to the above-mentioned comparative analyses of the energy consumption
levels, it goes without saying that the main aim of the Partnership concerning
improving energy consumption has been attained.
