IUSES is a project funded by the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme

The project aims to promote a more efficient way of using energy in every day life among secondary schools students and teachers.
From the digital alarm clock in the morning to the light we switch off before sleeping, our daily life is marked by constant use of energy. Whenever we are cooking, travelling to school, listening to music or taking a bath or shower, we are consuming energy.
All of these cause CO2 and other pollutant emissions as well as costing money. We usually don't reflect on our everyday actions very much: turning on a light, driving, taking a drink from a fridge. However, small changes in our behaviour can lead to significant energy savings and a major reduction in emissions.

IUSES will show secondary school students the basic principles of energy efficiency and give a comprehensive guide to saving energy in their everyday lives.
IUSES is currently developing a behaviour-oriented educational kit including: handbooks, multimedia animations and experiment tool-kit. The educational kit will be freely available for downloading on this web site.
Teachers and students will be actively involved in all stages of the project. In particular, they will test the educational kit and will provide feedback and suggestions to improve the IUSES kit.

The project will also include the launch of the European Energy Saving Award in 14 different countries which will reward schools and students that improve their energy efficiency.
