SummaryBeyond our homes, schools are the buildings that all society, primarily young people, engages with. The potential for embedding principles of low energy behaviour through the use of school buildings is present across all school aged children, but they are rarely involved in decisions on how energy is used. Pupils, teachers, janitors and building managers will participate in this "research in the wild" in order to understand how and why energy is used in their school building, learn how to control and manage it, and ultimately take responsibility for reducing energy use.This project will develop a collective 'Learning Energy System' involving people, objects, data and machines. Central to this is a digital system designed to align human needs and comfort with building energy systems, with the aim of to reducing overall energy demand. This project differs from many energy reduction projects. The building user; as a sensor of conditions; as a driver of energy demand; as an individual; and as a collective, is at the heart of the 'Learning Energy System'. Dynamic interactions between people and technology will be set up using innovative mobile applications.The research team will work with a Facilities Management company responsible for 32 schools across Scotland. Digital data representing energy use is available and will be used to develop a system to enable building users to more effectively manage and control how energy is used in their school buildings. The concept of a 'Living Lab' will be used which involved the user community in the co-creation of a solution to an identified problem. The facilities manager has already worked closely with the schools to reduce energy, but they have identified a need to develop a system to sustain energy reductions and involve builder users more actively in the energy management strategy. This will emerge as the 'Learning Energy System', a web based approach designed to be adaptive, interactive and easy to use.Pupils, teachers and janitors will work together using a range of low cost technology to co-create scenarios that connect with existing Building Management Systems, sensors and control systems. Innovative representation of energy will be used to explore ideas of motivation and desire to change behaviour to how and when energy is used. Overall the aim is to reduce energy use in the schools, and recognise the importance of the building user in achieving this goal.The 'Learning Energy System' will provide real time reductions in energy use for the schools, and a positive engagement with a wide range of building users. The whole process will offer thought provoking and compelling arguments for taking responsibility for efficient use of energy, and an exciting opportunity to use state of the art equipment to visualise, interpret, and control previously out of reach and often invisible energy streams. The system will be made available to all schools across the UK providing potential for transforming behaviour relative to energy use in a large number of communities. Cost savings, engagement with communities and carbon reductions associated with this project offer economic, social and environmental impact.

除了我们的家，学校是全社会，主要是年轻人参与的建筑。所有学龄儿童都有通过使用学校建筑来嵌入低能耗行为原则的潜力，但他们很少参与如何使用能源的决策。学生、教师、看门人和建筑管理员将参与这项“野外研究”，以了解他们的学校建筑如何以及为什么使用能源，学习如何控制和管理能源，并最终承担起减少能源使用的责任。该项目将开发一个涉及人、物体、数据和机器的集体“学习能量系统”。其核心是一个数字系统，旨在将人类需求和舒适度与建筑能源系统结合起来，以减少整体能源需求。这个项目不同于许多节能项目。建筑物使用者；作为条件的传感器；作为能源需求的驱动因素；作为个人；作为一个集体，是“学习能量系统”的核心。人与技术之间的动态互动将通过创新的移动应用程序建立起来。该研究团队将与一家负责苏格兰32所学校的设施管理公司合作。代表能源使用情况的数字数据可用，并将用于开发一个系统，使建筑物用户能够更有效地管理和控制其学校建筑物的能源使用情况。将使用“生活实验室”的概念，让用户社区共同创造解决已确定问题的解决方案。设施经理已经与学校密切合作，以减少能源，但他们已经确定需要开发一个系统来维持能源减少，并让建筑用户更积极地参与能源管理战略。这将以“学习能量系统”的形式出现，这是一种基于网络的方法，旨在适应、互动和易于使用。学生、教师和看门人将使用一系列低成本技术，共同创造与现有建筑管理系统、传感器和控制系统相连接的场景。能源的创新表示将用于探索动机和愿望的想法，以改变行为的方式和时间使用能源。总的来说，目标是减少学校的能源使用，并认识到建筑用户在实现这一目标方面的重要性。“学习能源系统”将实时减少学校的能源使用，并与广泛的建筑用户积极互动。整个过程将提供发人深省和令人信服的论据，以承担有效利用能源的责任，并提供一个令人兴奋的机会，使用最先进的设备来可视化、解释和控制以前遥不可及的、通常是看不见的能源流。该系统将提供给全英国的所有学校，为大量社区的能源使用提供了改变行为的潜力。与此项目相关的成本节约、社区参与和碳减排带来了经济、社会和环境影响。
