About PowerSave Schools
The Alliance to Save Energy believes that students have the power to create a culture of energy efficiency in their schools and communities. In k-12 educational facilities student engagement is key to accessing behavior-based energy savings. Empowered with STEM-based efficiency training, hands-on experience, and results to show for their work, students become ambassadors for energy conservation in the classroom and at home.
Who We AreEnergy is an enormous cost for US schools, which spend an estimated $6 billion per year in energy alone. Since PowerSave schools was started in 1996, we
have partnered with over 1,000 schools to save more than 50,000 Megawatt Hours
of electricity and 6 million dollars. We achieve these goals through STEM-based
lesson plans and hands-on applications that let students turn their knowledge into
power. Program content focuses on energy efficiency, demand response, and
renewable energy. Students learn how these elements work together to form
holistic energy solutions and create a deep understanding of energy’s links to
the environment and economy. Using the school as a real-world learning laboratory, we engage and empower students to become advocates for energy
efficiency in their schools, homes, and communities.

About the Alliance to Save Energy

The PowerSave Schools program is an educational component of a larger nonprofit, the Alliance to Save Energy, which began in 1977 as a response to the OPEC oil crisis-- a critical period in our nation's energy history. Decades later the Alliance continues the mission to create an energy-efficient world. The Alliance to Save Energy promotes energy efficiency worldwide to achieve a healthier economy, a cleaner environment and energy security. For more information about the Alliance click here!
