For Cool Kids
Instead of installing an air-conditioner with high capital and ongoing energy costs in your classroom, utilise passive cooling techniques such as blinds on north facing windows, fans, cross ventilation and night purging. Reducing heat gain into the building is much more energy efficient and economical
Footprints
The Footprints project is an initiative of Moreland City Council and is coordinated from CERES in Lee St, Brunswick. The project aims to introduce sustainability ideas into school curriculum in Moreland and has four units: energy, water, bio-diversity and recycling.
MEFL provides resources and speakers for the energy component of the program, and can help with energy audits of your school. In 2004 MEFL audited Brunswick South Primary School and made recommendations on reducing their energy bills.
