Green for EnergyGreen for EnergyWhere are we coming from...
I.S.I.S.S. “Giuseppe Verdi” – Valdobbiadene (TV) - ITALY
...a glance at the past
• Since 2005 our school has developed its own expertise
in using and saving energy in relationship with the
environment.
• In 2007 the Department of Technology decided to
introduce a period of practical experience in the
traditional lesson plans: a team of students (selected by
teachers) are given the opportunity to analyse some real
problems in a real working contest.
• Very often the “real problem” is about energy.
... 2008 ...• In 2008 the 4A ITIS class, while studying the consumption of
energy in a local winery, they found a way to save energy:
the heating produced by the condensers of a chiller, used for
refrigerating must (“mosto”) could be used to pre-heat
water, used in the cleaning process.
... 2008 ...• This project won the first award in a National Competition,
promoted by ENEL (2.000 € for each student!)
ENEL invited the class to Rome for the concluding ceremony...
... 2008 ...… and to Strasburgh, to present the project in Parliament.
... 2009 ...
• In 2009 we studied energy consumption in a public
building: the middle school in Valdobbiadene.
• It was our first
experience with a
public partner: the
Valdobbiadene
middle school and
the Municipality of
Valdobbiadene
... 2009 ...• This project received a Special Mention in the National
Competition promoted by ENEA, as well as 1.000 € for
our school and a educational fotovoltaic panel.
... 2009 ...
• 2009 was also a year of Government activities:
– The Ministry of Environment issued some
guidelines, the so-called EASS (Educazione
Ambientale e allo Sviluppo Sostenibile);
– The Ministry of Economy issued guidelines
for the Energy Performance of Buildings.
... 2010 ...
• That is why in 2009-10 we began long, complex study on
Sustainability in Valdobbiadene: we collected data
describing home energy consumption, local mobility,
energy saving, renewable sources, etc...
• We also checked the level reached (in our city) as far as
the 20-20-20 target is concerned.
• We are still using these results in a project of “peer
education” between our students and students of the
middle schools in the local area every year.
... 2010 ...
From November 2010 to June 2011, two students in their final year
developed an environmental analysis in a winery: Bortolomiol S.p.A.
All their results were the core of a short thesis they discussed at
their final exam and which we will see during our visit to the winery.
2011 – 2S2C
• 2S2C = Studenti e Scuole Costruttori di Cittadinanza
• The aim of this project was to promote existing best
practices in the high schools of Treviso (not only in
energy matter) with financial aid.
• ISISS “Giuseppe Verdi” got one of these aids. We took
advantage of this for studying energy consumption in our
school and getting the Energy Performance Certificate of
our school as a building.
The results
HEATING:- consumption 232˙610 kWh- CO2 emissions 40˙242 kg
- methane 24˙248 Sm3
EPI: 15,3 kWh/m3 CLASS: C/D
GLOBAL CONSUMPTION 395˙000 kWh
GLOBAL CO2 EMISSIONS 54˙600 kg
ELECTRICITY:- consumption 64˙569 kWh- CO2 emissions 30˙347 kg
... 2012 ...• In 2011 we began a two-year Comenius Project with
other European schools; the subject is: Sustainability.
• Students are discovering
that Green Economy is
developing all over Europe.
... 2012 ...
• All the results we collected in the energy and
environmental analysis completed in 2010 are now
shared with the corresponding results of other Countries:
Germany, France, Austria, Denmark.
