Best practicesBest practices



Example 1:

in order to reduce waste of water, we explained to everyone how to use the new timed taps.



Example 2:in order to reduce heat losses, we explained to everyone how to use thermostatic valves.



Example 3:when we find a room involved in free heating (sun, computers, people, etc.), we reduce the heat power of local devices.



Example 4:when one or more classes are missing for a long period, we manage to move the other classes so that a whole area can be empty.

In this way we save methane and electric energy.



Example 5:

In the last 3 years we separate rubbish with a good percent of recicling.

Advantages of this project:

- We are learning how to save energy (= money), and we can apply this experience at home;

- We are saving energy in a public building, discovering how much people can do, without any investment in technological devices;
