Moderated by Kevin Hogan, eCampus News, Editor-at-Large
Join Honeywell experts Karen Cooper and Axel Reichert as they discuss the importance of sustainability in higher education.

Green schools use less energy and water, have shown a reduction in absenteeism along with an increase in student performance, and incoming freshmen are twice as likely to choose their school based on sustainability factors.
