Recovering rain water for bathroom fittings

Photovoltaic panels and thermal solar plant

Waste recycling

Realization of a litthe green park

Phitodepuration plant

Studies about geothermic heating plants

Check of the building materials to reduce thermal dispersions

Now the building is …….

In the future it will be ……

Now the park is …….

In the future it will be ……

Green School project will last three years

Green practices are good educational tools. They can be used as model for classrooms. Students can learn concepts such as energy, recycling and natural sciences by turning off lights, conducting classroom energy audits, saving paper, composting food waste.

In future they will be good citizens!
