Network Sustainable Educational Buildings

Exchange of technical expertise

The network serves the exchange of information and experience on the sustainable construction of educational buildings. The topics of the network's work address current issues and discussions in daily practice. The technical basis is the federal Assessment System for Sustainable Building (BNB). After a two-year start-up phase, the network is set to become an independent business in the middle of 2025.

Co-design of the network

The Network for Sustainable Educational Buildings is open to all interested parties and is aimed at those responsible in building administrations, school and university administrations, research and teaching as well as planners and sustainability coordinators. Interested parties can register for participation at the network's office. The office is located at the Öko-Zentrum NRW.

Workgroups

Three workgroups, each with a different focus, were formed to work on the topics and problems of the network:

• WG 1: Argumentation tools and examples of implementation
• WG 2: Learning concepts and user participation
• WG 3: Structural engineering concepts

The workgroups are loosely organised and are managed by the administrative office. Professional and organisational participation - including from new members - is explicitly desired in all three groups. Information on the workgroup meetings, which take place at shorter intervals between the network meetings, can be obtained directly from the adminsitrative office.

Advisory board

The advisory board is made up of representatives from the member groups of local authorities, federal states, the federal government (building contractor level), research and sustainable building experts. It accompanies the development of the network in a predominantly advisory capacity. The advisory board ensures the implementation of the network's goals and agenda, a balanced dialogue and practical information.
