Abstract:
This paper evaluates the potential and efficiency of renewable energy use in a school in Neamț County, Romania. The research focuses on identifying sustainable and efficient energy solutions tailored to the geographic and climatic specificities of the region, aiming to model a "green" educational institution. Utilizing the HOMER software for modelling and optimizing renewable energy systems, the study highlights how technology and innovation can facilitate the transition to sustainable energy education. Key objectives include assessing the current energy performance, exploring passive and active improvement strategies, and evaluating the feasibility and sustainability of proposed solutions. Findings suggest significant potential for reducing the school's carbon footprint and improving energy efficiency through the implementation of solar photovoltaic systems and other renewable energy sources. The study addresses current needs for energy reduction and environmental protection.
