"Green" school complexes, which are based on bioclimatic design will operate using renewable energy and eco-friendly materials (i.e.wood) are beeing designed/ are under construction in Greece. Places to host such bioclimatic schools are Preveza, Katerini, Kozani and Crete.

| Katerini's Bioclimatic School |
Preveza
One of the first bioclimatic schools in Greece ends in the town of Preveza. This is an addition to a total area of 140 sq.m. in 'Karamaneio' Kindergarten.The building is constructed entirely of wood- an economic but high quality material-with very good insulation, antibacterial as well as fire resistant.
Katerini
Katerini
The bioclimatic school of Katerini, will host the fifth elementary school. The work began by opening and defining the area.The school is expected to be ready in the summer of 2013. The project budget amounts to 3.7 million and funding will be through the NSRF.
Kozani

• the provision of areas within the school complex for use by local residents at off hours (eg, library and special rooms)
• the ability to integrate classrooms between them and the places breaks so they can be exploited in various ways (multi-purpose room)• standard bioclimatic character to the design and integration of renewable energy systems (solar, geothermal)
• exploitation of infrastructure and services, broadband network, so that students have quick access to the Internet and to allow the remote collaborations.
The duration of the project implementation is 48 months, the eligible public expenditure in calculating the Community contribution amounts to EUR 9,123,000 and the time eligibility date expenditure shall be December 31, 2015.
