THE IMPACT OF SCHOOL FACILITIES ON THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION, HEALTH AND OPERATIONS
KEY FIGURES AT A GLANCE:
• Energy improvements could save 25% on our school electricity bills - that’s roughly $2 billion per year, or enough to hire over 35,000 teachers
• 9 out of 10 school administrators believe that investments in their school buildings improve the well-being of students
• 15,000 schools have air that’s unfit to breathe
• 7.1 million children suffer from asthma, the leading cause of school absenteeism due to chronic disease. Approximately 14 million school days are missed each year due to asthma
• More than 40% of surveyed school nurses report that children and staff are adversely impacted by avoidable indoor pollutants.
