Dr. Linda Little and Nicola Gardiner in the PaCT Lab have recently received an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) grant (value £250K) to investigate teenagers’ understanding and attitudes towards energy saving. In collaboration with partners from the Universities of Central Lancashire, Birmingham, Cardiff and the Institute of Education, the 3-year project will evaluate changes in teenage perceptions and behaviour in relation to energy use. The project is unique in that it involves teenagers acting as both participants and researchers, thus educating, informing and empowering teenagers through their active involvement.
