The benefits to the schools can be broadly categorized under performance, pedagogy, community and responsibility.
1. Performance (student and building performance) – fresh air, daylight, improved indoor environment enhances the performance of students. Also water efficiency, energy efficiency and post monitoring improves building performance.
2. Pedagogy (science and art of education) – eco – sensitivity is both a passion and science. Children get sensitized to environmental aspects.
3. Community (help to educate the greater community) – knowledge sharing within the school helps in reaching out to parents and nearby communities.
4. Responsibility (toward environment) – children learn to take responsibility for their own actions that concerns the environment. Schools can have tremendous benefits, both tangible and intangible. The most tangible benefits are the reduction in water and energy consumption. Intangible benefits include health & wellbeing of children, enhanced air quality and excellent day lighting.
