This site unites a number of links to energy-related research and implementation programs at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
EnergyQuest
The California Energy Commission's website for kids.
Energy and Resources Group at the University of California, Berkeley
The Energy and Resources Group (ERG) is an interdisciplinary academic unit of the University of California at Berkeley, conducting programs of graduate teaching and research that treat issues of energy, resources, development, human and biological diversity, environmental justice, governance, global climate change and new approaches to thinking about economics and consumption.
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy
DOE's Education website. Resources for students and teachers, as well as training for homeowners and professionals.
National Energy Education Development Project
The National Energy Education Development Project promotes an energy conscious and educated society by creating effective networks of students, educators, business, government and community leaders to design and deliver objective, multi-sided energy education programs.
Rebuilding Together Energy Teams
Every year, Berkeley Lab staff volunteer with other community members during the Albany-Berkeley-Emeryville Rebuilding Together April work weekend. Rebuilding Together renovates the homes of elderly and disabled residents. A special activity of Lab volunteers is the ENergy Team, which adds energy- and water-saving measures to these homes.
