The project, aimed to reduce energy consumption by about 20 to 25 percent in project supported schools leading to a reduction in CO2 emissions by an estimated 9, 000 tons over the project period (3 years), and by 60, 000 tons over the 20-year average life time of the investments. The project consisted of three components: An education programme on energy efficiency in secondary schools targeting class 8, and principally addressing awareness barriers at school and household levels, demonstration of energy saving and financial models in schools and universities, and dissemination of results of the demonstration activities.
