Welcome to the Energy Efficiency Challenge

This interactive, game-based learning experience will equip you with the knowledge and skills to reduce the carbon footprint of your office.


How it works
You will visit a fictional NRC Area Office where you can explore a range of opportunities to reduce energy demand in order to make the switch to a renewable energy source for the office more affordable. Each decision you make will impact your available budget and the allocated time you have left.


The Energy Efficiency Challenge is available in English and comes with a downloadable offline version.
