Energy scouts: Trainees show how to save money and climate!

in the Rems-Murr-Kreis region and beyond, trainees actively act against rising energy costs. Under the guidance of lecturer Paul Baumgärtner, employees are trained in the IHK training facility in Grunbach to form energy scouts. These trainees should not only support their companies, but also make a decisive contribution to climate protection. Michael Mühlegg, head of the IHK education facility, emphasizes urgency to increase energy efficiency in companies, especially in view of the constantly increasing energy costs.

practical training for a greener future

The initiative, which provides further knowledge of more than 30 trainees in the region, also takes place at the IHK Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg. As nrwz.de , the participants not only learn theoretical basics, but can also also gain practical experience. Topics such as infrared thermography, compressed air and lighting efficiency as well as the natural design of company premises are on the curriculum. The aim is that the energy scouts independently implement projects in their companies and sensitize colleagues to responsible use of energy.

The success of previous energy scouts speak for themselves: According to Marcel Trogisch from the IHK Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg, companies were able to save several ten thousand euros in energy costs last year by saving the trainees. In addition, every non -consumed kilowatt hour of electricity and heat is considered a positive contribution to climate protection. This practice -oriented training ensures that young people become active actors in the fight against climate change and energy waste. This increases hope of a sustainable change in the company processes of the companies, and this begins in the training phase, such as ZVW.de reported
