Innovative Approaches To Green Classroom Renovation Programs, Lavern Lazzereschi, Laura Moreno Aug 2008

Innovative Approaches To Green Classroom Renovation Programs, Lavern Lazzereschi, Laura Moreno

Sustainability Conference

Each year, classrooms and laboratories across all college campuses are renovated. By setting priorities, taking advantage of cost-effective techniques that are also sustainable, and using students to research greening of renovations, the impact of these renovations has been reduced.
