Recommendations

During the presentation Ivo gave some recommendations

• Practice what we educate. So if you want your students to think more sustainable then also create an inspiring sustainable learning environment.
• Use maintenance and management information withing your lessons so students can learn from the collected data of their own school environment.
• Connect with professional partners with experience in the field like Signify Phillips when thinking about lighting.
