Arc supports schools, educators and students
Arc is pleased to partner with USGBC’s Center for Green Schools to provide data-driven tools for K-12 teachers, students, school facility staff and district managers, and support high-quality, relevant environmental and sustainability education.
By tracking green building performance, students can understand how green buildings impact their health and the environment, increase their sustainability literacy and find new ways to help reduce their school’s negative environmental impacts. Whether for a single school building or entire district, tracking green building performance helps you:
- Establish, track, and communicate sustainability goals;
- Identify areas for improvement;
- Engage students in data collection and analysis;
- Prepare for green building certification.
- Much more!
Arc turn schools into living laboratory where students can learn about science, technology, and mathematics concepts and collect, analyze, and score data about their school building.
