Green schools row heats up

摘要

The previous government's leading adviser on green schools has joined a growing chorus of opposition to moves by the Department for Education to drop sustainability requirements on new schools. Robin Nicholson, chairman of the previous government's Zero Carbon Schools Task Force, has written to education secretary Michael Gove urging the government not to scrap BREEAM requirements on schools. His intervention follows a similar joint letter from Paul King, UK Green Building Council chief executive and Peter Young, Aldersgate Group chairman, to ministers this week.
