Education Communities
TEC designs and implements energy education programs that engage students in accountable energy practices for shared benefit.
We are the architects of the award-winning PEAK Student Actions energy education program which currently reaches over 70,000 students in California and Sweden.
We partner with school districts, teachers, and students to create educational curricula as well as implement energy blueprints that create accountable energy schools.
California schools spend nearly equal amounts on books and energy every year – about 3% of their budgets. Sound energy management practices generate working capital in the form of energy savings that can then be redirected to the classroom.
Accountable energy schools have other significant shared benefits that directly impact the learning environment such as better lighting and better indoor air quality. Students who have the opportunity to learn about wise energy use and see it modeled throughout their school form enduring positive energy habits.
