The Clean Technology Centre at Cork Institute of Technology
is currently implementing an exciting new environmental award
for secondary schools and students in Ireland.
The European Energy Saving Award (EESA) - sponsored by Bord
Gαis - is designed to promote energy awareness and
best practice in secondary schools and among their students
as part of the IUSES
project.
The Award is open to all secondary schools and students in
Ireland (together with several other countries) who wish to
apply. Awards have two consecutive stages - the National Awards
(awarded in June 2010) and the European Awards (October 2010).
There are three categories of award -
- Schools
This category is open to any secondary school (private or
public) that has achieved energy saving improvements by
appropriate means.
- Individual student or a group of students
This award is open to application from an individual or
group of students who achieved energy savings in their everyday
lives - at home, at school, at work, in their travel, etc.
- Videos/Multimedia (single and/or group)
This award refers to videos, posters, websites, plays, music,
etc. relating to energy saving and/or renewable energy topics.
The winners of each category, at national level, will automatically
participate in the same category of the European Award (without
any further application).
In Ireland there are substantial prizes for these awards,
sponsored by Bord Gαis, as follows -
