Descripción del proyecto
Capacitar a los universitarios para luchar juntos contra la pobreza energética
La pobreza energética afecta a los estudiantes universitarios. Por eso, es importante ayudar a los estudiantes a adoptar comportamientos que ahorren energía. El equipo del proyecto SAVES2, financiado con fondos europeos, contará con la participación de estudiantes de siete países. El proyecto SAVES2, compuesto por dos iniciativas, se dirige a los estudiantes que residen en alojamientos universitarios a través de la campaña Student Switch Off y a los del sector privado de alquiler a través de SAVES. En Student Switch Off fomenta la competición por el ahorro energético entre 38 000 estudiantes que viven en 144 residencias universitarias, aprovechando las redes sociales y las herramientas interactivas para concienciar a la población. En SAVES se ayuda a más de cien mil estudiantes a tomar decisiones fundamentadas a la hora de elegir propiedades de alquiler mediante la integración de contadores inteligentes y un apoyo continuo. Aprovechando el poder de las redes sociales y las comunidades de estudiantes en línea, la iniciativa empleará contenidos digitales interactivos como concursos de preguntas y de fotos.
Objetivo
Students Achieving Valuable Energy Savings 2 (SAVES2) will catalyse sustainable energy behaviours among over 219,000 university students in seven countries to help them reduce their exposure to fuel poverty. It incorporates two strands that engage with students living in university accommodation (Student Switch Off) and in the private-rented sector (SAVES).
Student Switch Off is an energy-saving competition that will reach 38,000 students living in 144 dormitories in 14 universities of the partner countries in each academic year from 2017/18 to 2019/20. By identifying and training student ambassadors in each dormitory, and by motivating the ambassadors to encourage their peers to save energy, we will create a race between students in dormitories, each competing to save the most energy and win prizes. It will tap into online student communities through social media, using engaging digital communications (quizzes, photo competitions) to raise awareness of how students can save energy in a fun way. The centrepiece of each competition will be an energy dashboard that updates students in near-real time on the performance and position of their dormitory in the competition – providing feedback and encouraging further action.
The private-rented sector engagement work (SAVES) will reach over 100,000 students when they are looking for, moving into and living in the private-rented sector. It will enable students to make better informed decisions at the point at which they are selecting a rental property – thereby routing purchase decisions towards higher efficiency properties. SAVES2 will incorporate national-level partnerships with smart meter delivery agencies to develop student-focused communication materials highlighting the benefits of smart meters. It will provide ongoing advice and support to students via energy-efficiency and bill management training, peer-to-peer advice sharing via video blogs and regular e-mail and social media communications.
