The mission of the National Energy Education Development Project is to promote 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 works with energy companies, agencies and organizations to bring balanced energy programs to the nation's schools with a focus on strong teacher professional development, timely and balanced curriculum materials, signature program capabilities and turn-key program management.

The Saving Energy at Home and School Teacher Guide and Student/Family Guide was created as part of NEED's residential energy conservation programming. These lessons and activities can be taught in the classroom with the NEED Saving Energy Kit and the Saving Energy Home Kits for each student.
