Catalogue of good practices

Within the three years of 50/50 implementation we have developed many good practices that may be source of inspiration for other schools, non-school buildings and municipalities wishing to launch their own 50/50 projects and engage in energy saving. This catalogue includes selection of most interesting case studies showing not only how to save electricity, heat and water with low-cost measures, but also how to actively involve pupils, teachers and other building users in energy management and successfully change their behaviours. What is more, you will find here many useful ideas on overall 50/50 implementation which will help you better plan your actions and work with energy teams. Enjoy your reading!
