ER25 Towards zero net energy schools (April 2017)

This report looks at the design process by developing and testing an early-stage design tool aimed at enabling board members and other school representatives dealing with property management at schools to get an early estimate of the costs and benefits of various energy-saving and energy-generating options available to them.

In this project, a prototype tool was put in a trial with six schools in Auckland, and the feedback and insights gained have helped to develop the pathway for further development of the tool and strategy for national roll-out to all interested schools in New Zealand.
