Green Energy-Efficient Schools in Albania
Albania, with investments from both the international community and the national government, is well-positioned to transform its education system, generate employment opportunities and boost GDP by repairing and improving its schools with innovative green technologies. This study evaluated the opportunities, challenges, impacts, and costs for “greening” Albania’s 3,300-plus school buildings and developed a multi-tier series of changes to improve energy efficiency, air quality, indoor/outdoor facilities and other design elements. Solutions range from repairing existing systems and insulating buildings to installing renewable-energy design elements and expanding indoor/outdoor facilities.
