A zero energy school is a low-energy, combustion-free building that sources all of its annual energy from renewable energy sources. This toolkit describes the educational, health, and environmental benefits of zero energy schools; outlines the process of building or renovating a zero energy school; lists options for financing these schools; and suggests practices for proper building operations and maintenance.
