The content of the material produced by LIFE-myBUILDINGisGREEN goes beyond the boundaries of the project and serves as an example in the elaboration of a high school project in the Alpes-Maritimes region in France.

This is the work carried out by Manuel Niccolini, a student of the Lycée International de Valbonne, in which he takes as a reference the information contained in deliverable C5.7. Design of 15 Nature-Based Solutions projects. Based on this deliverable and the advice offered by the LIFE-myBUILDINGisGREEN coordinator, Manuel proposes a series of solutions for his school, in order to improve the well-being of its users while reducing its environmental impact. The project carries out a preliminary analysis of the situation of the school and its climatology, analyses the heat sensation and the comfort of the students in different classrooms and proposes a series of LIFE-myBUILDINGisGREEN solutions, including their possible benefits in this case study and the estimated costs of their implementation.

The work, which has obtained a score of 20/20 in the presentation, is an example of transferability of the solutions tested by LIFE-myBUILDINGisGREEN, being known among the educational community of this French high school and opening the possibility to study its feasibility for a possible future implementation.

LIFE-myBUILDINGisGREEN would like to thank Manuel Niccolini for his interest in the project and his motivation for his school to improve the quality of life of its users in a sustainable way.
