National Energy Education Development Project (NEED) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit education association dedicated to promoting an energy conscious and educated society by creating effective networks of students, educators, business, government and community leaders to design and deliver objective, multi-sided energy education programs. NEED provides objective information about energy sources--their use and impact on the environment, the economy and society. The program includes curriculum and activities to educate students about energy efficiency and conservation, and tools to help educators, energy managers and consumers use energy wisely. NEED brings technical support and assistance to schools, introduces teachers and students to new technologies and energy efficiency opportunities, and helps school energy managers and facilities personnel work more closely with teachers and instructional personnel to reduce energy use in schools. NEED works closely with Niagara Conservation, gas and power utilities and energy agencies for residential energy efficiency programs - incorporating a students educating families approach.
