The following programs are available:
Renewable Energy Options for Schools and Universities
Discover the latest in energy alternatives, practices and systems that can help your education institution achieve superior energy efficiency, improve life-cycle costs, and create ideal environments for students and teachers. Learn about education institutions that are at the leading edge of energy efficiency and share their strategies for success.
Your Next GREEN School Is Already Built
Existing school buildings present major opportunities to create high-performance facilities for all students. Learn about tools available to assess and improve your existing schools, including the new Operations Report Card (ORC), a program that guides school staff on how to conduct yearly assessments in energy, air quality, thermal comfort, lighting and acoustics. Use it to benchmark the performance of both high- and low-performance schools, and get recommendations for improvement. You'll also discover innovative strategies for successful modernizations, as well as how to meet tough prerequisites within a small project scope.
Uncovering Funding Opportunities for Green, Sustainable, Energy-Efficient Schools & Universities
Economic stimulus funding is getting a lot of attention — but it is not the only funding option available that can result in significant dollars for your institution. Discover ways to supplement your new construction, renovation and/or operations budgets to advance your sustainability initiatives.
The green-cleaning movement is gaining steam. Yet even as more schools and universities are adopting programs or improving upon existing ones, many questions remain regarding green cleaning, its impact on the environment, its effectiveness on health and efficiency, and how to manage a program in a difficult economic environment. Learn from experts and award-winning schools on what truly makes a cleaning program "green," and how you can build support and buy-in to accomplish your sustainability, cost and performance goals.
