Saving energy makes a school.
In many private homes, modern heating systems or targeted thermal insulation are standard. But what about municipal buildings? 5’000 of the approximately 18’000 school buildings in Germany must be renovated urgently.
According to the experts, energy consumption in public buildings could be lowered by up to 80 percent by implementing energy efficient measures. Therefore, EnBW wants to launch a nationwide project, in which different school buildings are modernised in a partnership between the authorities and the scientific and business communities: the project will be called “Energy Efficient Schools”.
An important incentive for districts to become involved with the project is the financing model. The energy efficiency measures will predominantly pay for themselves through the energy savings made. For three schools in Baden-Württemberg, the problem of financing will not even be an issue, because the renovations will be financially supported by EnBW.
Our most important incentive: through this project, thousands of students will receive observation lessons on the theme of energy efficient construction. So will parents and teachers.
