The superhero Beepster knows that the world rests on the young, who visited the elementary school “Skender Kulenović” in Zenica with a serious task. The mission of this superhero on planet Earth is to explain to elementary school students through an educational and entertaining workshop that burning fossil fuels produces energy, but also releases carbon dioxide (CO2). It enables the atmosphere to retain part of the solar radiation and heat, thus preventing the cooling of the Earth. However, the large consumption of fossil fuels in everyday life creates an excessive amount of this gas. Because of this, global warming occurs, which significantly affects climate change on Earth.
In a creative way, through the game, Beepster showed the students how polluted cities are, and how harmful increased carbon dioxide emissions are, and explained to them that there is a solution in the form of energy-efficient behaviour.
“We have to help our Planet. We have to save rivers, forests and all other green areas of the planet Earth!” said the Beepster, who shared tips for smarter energy use, in order to reach this goal together.
“Don’t leave the water running while brushing your teeth or washing. Turn off the light after leaving the room, and do not waste energy unnecessarily. And don’t forget, we have to turn off electronic devices and not leave them on standby. Plant a tree, ride a bike and use energy-saving light bulbs,” added this superhero.
The Beepomat, a device that shows them energy-efficient behaviours, attracted a lot of students’ attention. The students were also shown an animated film about climate change on Earth and ways to use energy wisely.
In the primary school “Skender Kulenović” in Zenica, thanks to the BEEP AF project, energy efficiency measures were implemented, such as thermal insulation of facade walls; thermal insulation of the roof; replacement of existing carpentry and/or locksmithing; installation of dynamic thermostatic valves; installation of automatic regulation of the heating system; partial replacement of lighting fixtures; installation of equipment for measuring energy consumption; and installation of temperature and humidity monitoring equipment.
The area covered by the project is 3,460.62 m2, and the investment amount was 462,843.05 BAM.
The superhero Beepster left the elementary school “Skender Kulenović” in Zenica, satisfied with the work done, and headed for the next destination.
