The ten week online  ‘Energy Measurements at Home’ course (T152) provides students with  two Eco-eye real-time electricity monitors – an Eco-eye Mini and an Eco-eye Plug-in -  as part of the equipment needed in order to complete the course tasks effectively. Students investigate all aspects of their household energy demands, appliances, heating and behaviour.

The course can count towards most Open University degrees at bachelor’s level, where it can help to weight a degree towards a BSc.

At Eco-eye we recognise that raising social awareness and changing consumer behaviour globally is crucial in order to make a significant impact on lowering carbon emissions.  Too many people over-consume and have developed bad habits, continually misusing the earth’s natural resources and leaving a legacy of problems for future generations.

We want to help break this cycle. That's why Eco-Eye is committed in supporting schools in this vital area so that today's children can become thinking, caring consumers.

The EYE (Eco Young Engaged) Summit been running for the last three years with pupils even managing their own E.Y.E website:

Karen led a workshop with various activities based on saving electricity while Peter engaged the pupils with his fun interactive demonstration on how household appliances waste power when on standby. 

We were really impressed with how much knowledge many of the pupils already have and hope that we did our bit to help them become model eco-citizens.  During one activity pupils wrote an energy saving message in their very own ‘eco-eyes’   We would like to thank everyone we met for making the day a great success.  We look forward to the next Eco-Summit in 2011.
