CONTRIBUIÇÕES PARA IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DE EDUCAÇÃO EM ENERGIA NO BRASIL

Abstract

Reduce, or increase energy efficiency in the residential sector is also a matter of education on scientific themes in the area of energy. Encouragement of the rational use of this issue can be done in the initial series of school life of young students. To achieve this goal the University Boards and secretariats of education and the elementary and High Schools must work together and promote actions that achieve both students and teachers from different series. In this sense the work presented here will describe the actions that a group of researchers from UNESP – Campus de Guaratinguetá has been performing in recent years in order to promote actions aiming the dissemination of concepts about rational use of energy in regional and national levels. Research projects conducted recently reached tens of thousands of students and hundreds of teachers resulting in a wide dissemination of the theme.

Index Terms - education, energy efficiency, rational use of energy.
