The educational process in Bulgaria consisted of five phases:

1. Education in schools by EAP’s team
   EAP’s team visited the schools and provided manuals and background lessons that gave students and their teachers good knowledge of energy management and energy monitoring
2. Site visits ( boiler houses, buildings, etc) in each schools 
   SEMTs visited the boiler rooms and school buildings of the all participating schools. They were well-informed about the building energy infrastructure and its maintenance.
3. Education in EAP’s premises 
   EAP’s premises became a learning lab where the SEMTs received more concrete knowledge of energy management in SMEs and RES applications. Technical experts from EAP guided the students in doing a full audit of their schools.
4. Visits, workshops with the workplace team
   With the knowledge gained during the educational part, the SEMTs went to the workplace fully prepared and upgraded their knowledge, while analyzing the energy consumption of the workplace’s industrial buildings. The team of energy experts of EAP, workplace and SEMTs has worked together for solutions in three energy tasks in the workplace.
