Each school forms a team of ‘Energizers’, who take the lead in making the school and environment more sustainable. During the campaign, the teams will venture out in the world of energy, technology and sustainability and move from knowledge to action and results! The campaign starts with a slamming kick-off and ends with a festive finale.

The energizers all get a big poster on which they can earn eight stars for their achievements. The steps of the stars challenge them to come up with original and creative actions which correspond to school, environment and the talents of the youths. Only by changing your behavior you can already save 15%!

Besides behavior, technology plays an important role in the Energy Challenges. At first, a Quickscan is made of the school building and the installation. Based on that, the technical specialist knows what measuring equipment needs to be installed. After this, the standard usage of the school is determined and the monitoring is installed. Then, a 0 measurement can be made. Based on this measurement, the equipment of the school is adjusted and a measuring instrument is installed which students, teachers and the directors can use to read the exact energy usage. This way, they can see the effect of their actions immediately! Also, a tailormade advice is given to the school, to make the building more sustainable. Every region has a technical specialist who guides schools through this process.
