Low emission schools

Bucharest’s (RO) District 6 faces challenges due to its ageing educational infrastructure, which was built in the 1970s-1990s. Leveraging European funds, this initiative focuses on transforming a school to provide near-zero emission buildings, while also launching associated soft-measures such as eco-education campaigns for students (workshops, eco-competitions) and an easy recognisable trademark (N-Zebi character). Meanwhile, the transformed public buildings are also integrated into local energy communities, thus helping the surrounding district to reduce carbon emissions and become Positive Energy Districts. Overall, this promotes environmental sustainability, while creating healthier environments and inspiring positive change locally. These efforts will be included in scalable action plans.
