Benefy is a European project funded by the Erasmus+ programme whose aim is to develop a range of resources that promote not only awareness but also the habits that keep energy efficiency present in every decision.

It has three outputs: a toolkit with open educational resources, information, activities and materials for vocational education; an e-learning platform for vocational teachers; and a student-facing programme with good practice and activities.
