Managing Home Energy Use is an at-home supplement to NEED’s School Energy curriculum guides. These activities follow the same six-lesson format as the in-school guides, and expand upon the energy efficiency and conservation knowledge gained while using the home as the learning laboratory. Students will work to apply observations from in-school lessons and teach their household about their knowledge gains and energy behavior changes as they conduct a step-by-step audit of their home. Activities will help homeowners uncover energy and money saving actions right away. For more information on purchasing supplies for home energy use activities, contact NEED. Home kit supplies can be ordered for large groups.

Also available as an e-publication.
