Sustainable Schools

Energy and Water Schools should be “models of energy efficiency, renewable energy and water conservation, showcasing opportunities such as wind, solar and biomass energy, insulation, rainwater harvesting and grey water recycling to everyone who uses the school.�

In sustainable schools students can address energy conservation issues, investigate renewable energy alternatives and explore ways to reduce water consumption.

Through school operational changes, sustainable schools can save money on energy and water bills while maintaining a comfortable working environment and gaining significant educational, social and environmental benefits as well.
