Welcome

You are in the website of EURONET 50/50. This is a project supported by the Intelligent Energy Europe that aims at saving energy at schools around Europe. At least 50 schools will get involved using the 50/50 methodology already tested in Germany. The idea is that 50% of the energy savings achieved in the school will return to the centre as economic transfers, while the other 50% will be a net saving for the manager of the school building. With this everybody wins: the school has an incentive to save energy getting more money for its activities, the facility managers (eg. city councils) have less energy costs and overall there are less CO2 emissions released to the planet.

We seek to involve pupils as main actors, but also their teachers and families in a 50/50 network of schools to save energy. We hope that more and more schools get engaged in this network promoting a more sustainable use of energy and an exchange of best practices around Europe.
