Fernando Neyra

Fernando Neyra is a professor in the field of Environmental Engineering at the Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC) in Peru. He was recently in the news discussing the implications of a government mandate for remote classes due to a natural gas shortage. Neyra emphasized that while the shift to virtual learning redistributes energy consumption from schools to homes, it could lead to increased electricity and gas use at home, particularly for families with multiple students. He provided practical advice for managing energy consumption during this transition.
