Energy se EXECU11VE SUMMARY
This report summarizes the 2009-2010 Idaho Power Energy Wise Program
which was implemented by teachers in Idaho Power’s service area.The
program was used by one thousand forty-five (1,045)sixth-grade students,
teachers and their families,and was funded by Idaho Power.
The Program is a fully implemented,multi-resource efficiency/education
program designed to facilitate installation of efficiency measures in homes
and build knowledge of environmental issues.The Program yields a variety of
measurable energy savings results using the best messengers -students.The
Program delivered a proven blend of teacher-designed classroom activities
with hands-on home projects to install energy efficiency devices and introduce
resource-conscious behavior to students and their families.Both educational
studies and utility evaluations have confirmed the importance of addressing
the various learning styles to maximize both learning and the adoption of
new behaviors.The most critical elements of this approach are both the actual
use of the new knowledge as well as the reporting function which provides
a crucial reinforcement of the
Participant Satisfaction:A significant element of a successful Program is participant satisfaction.Students,teachers and
parents are all asked to evaluate the program and provide personal comments.Responses were unanimously positive and
reveal a high level of parent involvement in the activities.Specifically:
•100%of participating teachers indicated that parents supported the program.
•100%of participating teachers indicated they would recommend this program to other colleagues.
•81%of participating students gave the program a rating of good or great.

Knowledge Gained:Identical surveys (tests)were taken by students prior to the Program and again upon Program
completion to measure knowledge gained.Scores and subject knowledge improved from 77%to 86%.
Audit Data Obtained:Home audits were performed by students and their families,collecting household demographic
and usage data along with program participation information.
Measures Installed:Students completed retrofit activities as part of the Program,and reported the measures they
installed in their own homes.Specifically:
Energy Savings Results:In addition to educating students and their parents,the primary program goal for utility
sponsors is to generate cost effective energy savings.Student reporting activities not only provided the data used in
savings projections,but also reinforced the learning benefits.

Resource Action Programs
For more than sixteen years,Resource Action Programs (RAP)has
designed and implemented resource efficiency and education programs
—changing household energy and water use while delivering significant,
measurable resource savings for program sponsors.All RAP programs
feature a proven blend of innovative education,comprehensive
implementation services,and hands-on activities to put new knowledge
to work in students’homes.
RAP Programs serve more than 200,000 households each year through
elementary school,middle school and adult programs.Our forty person
staff manages the implementation process and program oversight for
nearly 200 individual programs annually.Recognized nationally as a
leader in water and energy efficiency education and program design,
RAP has a strong reputation for providing a high level of client service
to its sponsors as part of a wide range of conservation and resource
efficiency solutions for municipalities,utilities,states,community
agencies and corporations.
All aspects of program design and implementation is completed from the Program Center in Sparks,Nevada.These include
graphic and web design,print production,warehousing and distribution,kit production,marketing,program tracking,data
tabulation,and reporting.
The school-based Energy Wise Program is fully implemented and designed to generate immediate and long-term savings
by bringing interactive ‘real world”education home with motivated students.The Program staff identifies and enrolls
students and teachers within the designated service territory.Enrolled participants receive educational materials designed
to build knowledge and demonstrate simple ways to save,by not only changing habits,but also changing devices.
Materials support state and national educational standards,which allow the Program to easily fit into teachers’existing
schedules and requirements.
The Program begins with classroom discussions teaching the importance of using water and energy efficiently,followed
by hands-on,creative problem solving.Next,participants take home a Energy Wise Activity Kit that contains high efficiency
measures.With the help of their parents,they install the measures in their home and complete a home survey.The Energy
Wise staff tabulates all responses,including home survey information,teacher responses,student input,parent responses,
and generates a Program Summary Report.After installing and monitoring the new efficiency measures in their homes,
students are able to measure what they have learned by seeing the actual water and energy monetary savings!These
savings benefit both the participating student households and their communities overall.

RAP Programs serve more than 200,000
households each year through elementary

The Idaho Power Energy Wise Program has had a significant impact within the community.As illustrated below,the
Program successfully educated a portion of the community about energy efficiency while generating resource savings
through the installation of efficiency measures in homes.Home audit and installation information was collected to track
savings and provide household consumption and audit data to sponsors.Program evaluations and comments were
collected from teachers,students and parents.The following program elements were used to collect this data:
A.Home Survey and Retrofits
Upon completion of the Program,participating families are asked to complete a home survey to assess their resource use,
verify product installation,provide demographic information and measure participation rates.A few samples of questions
asked are below while a complete summary of all responses is included in the appendices.
Did your family install the first Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL)?
Did your family install the LimeLite Night Light?
Did your family change the way you use energy?
Did your family change the way you use energy?

C.Energy Savings Summary
As part of the program and working with parents or guardians,students installed resource efficiency measures in their
homes.They also measured the pre-existing devices to calculate savings that they generated.Using the family habits
collected from the customer survey information as the basis for this calculation,one thousand forty-five (1,045)households
are expected to save the following resource totals.Savings from these actions and new behaviors will continue for many
years to come.

Parent Comments:From both a utility and teacher perspective,parent involvement with program activities and their
children is of paramount interest.When parents take an active role in their child’s education it helps the schools and
strengthens the educational process considerably.When students successfully engage their families in the retrofit and
home efficiency projects,utility efficiency messages have been powerfully delivered to two generations in the same
household.The Program is a catalyst for this family interaction,which is evidenced by the parent comments which are
received each year.An excerpt is presented below.

E.Program Enhancements
In addition to increasing resource awareness and efficiency,the Program strengthens bonds between sponsors and their
communities.The Program has been designed from start to finish with this in mind.Some of the steps taken to ensure our
sponsors receive the greatest possible exposure are as follows:
Promotion of Sponsor Programs:Program materials can be used to publicize and boost enrollment in additional
efficiency program opportunities.This option was not used howeve Energy Wise can easily promote residential programs
such as toilet replacement or other programs.
Custom Branding:Each Resource Action Kit was labeled with the Idaho Power logo.In addition to the Resource Action
Kit,the Introduction to Parent Letter,and Teacher Program Evaluation featured sponsor branding.
