Manaus Energy Efficiency Center exceeds visitation goal in the first half

Manaus (AM) – The Manaus Energy Efficiency Center (CEEA) surpassed the goal of a thousand visitors in the first semester and is already a reference in awareness about clean energy. Inaugurated in December last year, the space has been on display for six months and more than a thousand people have already visited the site.

“We have become a reference for schools, institutions and companies that want to approach and learn about the importance of generating energy with less natural resources or obtaining the same service with less energy”,

comments Igor Furniel, CEO of NTICS Projetos, responsible for the installations.

The Energy Efficiency Center was set up in the city of Manaus, in a permanent space of 48 m², within the Fundação Rede Amazônica, a partner in the project, and is sponsored by the Whirlpool Corporation, owner of the Brastemp, Consul and KitchenAid brands in Brazil.

“Whirlpool has a strong legacy with the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) agenda for over 60 years. As an example, in the environmental pillar, is the use of 100% clean energy in our Units, which reinforces the importance of energy efficiency in our operations. In addition, we are sponsors of several projects that encourage education, culture, sports and arts in our communities. We are immensely proud to support a project like this, raising awareness for the planet and future generations”,

says Eduardo Vasconcelos, Director of Institutional Relations, Antitrust and Trade at Whirlpool Latin America.

CEEA’s structure has four areas and seven panels that, through interactive activities, models, games and artist exhibitions, will address the different relationships between human beings and energy, always in a playful way, with direct and relevant information.

All work was based on 4 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, namely: SDG 7, which deals with Accessible and Clean Energy, SDG 13 – Action Against Global Climate Change, SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities and SDG 4 – Quality Education.

The expectation is that, by the end of 2024, around 2,000 students will visit the space. Visits must be scheduled via WhatsApp (11) 95835 – 2514 or by email [email protected].

The Energy Efficiency Center is located at Av. André Araújo, 1555, Fundação Rede Amazônica.
