Why green our schools?
A healthy and productive place to learn
Conventional education buildings are typically designed just to meet minimum standards in building codes.
A healthy place to teach
Green schools aren't just good for students. Green schools improve the health and well being of our teachers too.
Lower operating costs
Green schools consume 32% less water and 33% less energy than conventionally designed schools. Efficient lighting, heating and cooling, better insulation, greater use of daylight and natural ventilation, as well as water saving features, all reduce energy and water consumption...
Hands-on learning opportunities
Green schools inspire and engage students with environmental issues.
Reputation enhancement
Companies that choose to operate from green buildings are increasingly finding it enhances their reputations and corporate brands.
An environmentally friendly facility
