- Title
Columbia Water & Light: A Case Study in Energy Education.
- Authors
Dzurick, Alex
- Abstract
Columbia Water & Light is a municipal electric and water utility with a number of energy education programs. By hiring a full-time education and outreach coordinator, Water & Light has been able to create connections with existing audiences in the community. Historical and current programs have earned awards for the utility. Water & Light's education programs touch on the science, math and social forces behind energy in the community through projects with adults and children alike. By addressing energy education from a number of angles, Water & Light hopes to provide the community a holistic view of their energy use and how they can improve, with a goal of increasing participation in the utility's efficiency programs. Short descriptions of a number of programs highlight the work that Water & Light's education and outreach team has developed over a number of years.
