Green Credentials
BBELS has adopted Corporate Social Responsibility into its daily operation. These include solar energy initiatives plus water and waste recycling. A 10KW solar electric system is in place on the school’s roof. This generates close to 40% of our electrical needs. Our hot water systems at both the school building and in all student houses also use solar or heat pump technologies.
