Nacionalna energetska pot Slovenija kot interaktivna metoda učenja

The paper presents an innovation in the field of non-formal adult education for efficient energy (EE) and renewable energy sources (RES). It is called Nacionalna energetska pot Slovenija  – National Energy Path Slovenia, which follows the modern trends of adult education and learning by using different sources of information. This in turn enables gradual and individualized knowledge construction and, consequently, better informed decision making. The NEP web page displays different suggestions and a network of 660 diverse buildings that use energy efficient equipment. These serve as examples of good practice that learners can visit and explore, while also talking with their owners. The owners act as a network of experienced volunteers that pass on their knowledge and experience to new builders or investors. This kind of education process, the goal of which is a better decision-making process when choosing energy efficient equipment and materials, merges professional, non-commercial and free advice with personal experience and knowledge of the owners or managers of energy efficient buildings
