How much energy do we use? Does our lifestyle affect the amount of energy we need? Could renewable technologies provide for all energy needs in Luxembourg?
During this workshop, participants get to search for answers using a self-assessment process and carrying out hands-on experiments. At the end of the session, you will be able to answer these questions through their own investigations. The methodology and results developed are easily transferred to the business environment.
Participants carry out the following tasks:
- Assessing the potential of solar, wind, biomass or human powered technologies
- Calculating their daily energy need and learning to solve the energy balance problem using the data they generated
- Comparing their own energy consumption to that of other people and discussing whether Luxembourg could go 100% renewable
- Learning the difference between power and energy
- Discovering the advantages and disadvantages of different types of renewable energies and learning that they require land surface areas.
This workshop was developed by a team of researchers from the Department of Physics and Materials Science of the University of Luxembourg in the framework of the Energy4Life project.
