In April 2010, sixty students from five Cornish schools and colleges successfully completed projects to help local businesses use energy more efficiently and investigate renewable technology opportunities.
The project is the first of its kind in the UK to link businesses with students to work on energy efficiency projects and is part of the Schools for Intelligent Energy Use (SIEU) Project - a European programme funded by Intelligent Energy Europe, with eleven partners across nine EU countries.
The UK element of the SIEU programme is being delivered by Community Energy Plus, Cornwall's leading charity delivering local solutions to fuel poverty, energy efficiency and renewable energy.
The students worked for three months on projects to find creative solutions to real-life sustainability questions to enable the businesses theyre working with to reduce their energy consumption and investigate renewable energy options.
This film includes shows the presentation delivered by students from Duchy College Stoke Climsland to their business client Deer Park Farm.
