11 Sustainable Schools Sustainable schools cost less money to operate and use less water and energy. Sustainable schools on average save $100,000 per year Sustainable Schools Sustainable Schools are not only better for the environment, they are also healthier for students and teachers 11

12 Sustainable Schools Have better lighting and temperature controls, more comfortable indoor environments, improved ventilation and indoor air-quality all of which contribute to positive health benefits Sustainable Schools Have higher teacher retention. Demonstrate increased performance on reading tests by 20% and on math tests by 24% compared to students in classrooms without daylight. Experience fewer sick days and instances of asthma are 38.5% lower. 12

13 Sustainable Schools Sustainable schools on average save $100,000 per year enough enough to hire 2 new teachers, buy 1000 new computers, or purchase 5000 new textbooks. Sustainable Schools $2B savings in next 10 years ($25B in North America) for New Design Retrofit & Rehabilitation of existing structures is SIGNIFICANTLY larger Savings potential increases as energy costs increase 13
