Abstract

Among all Public Schools in Morocco, there are those located in areas with low temperatures. Hence the need for heating to improve learning conditions for students and teachers. However, the types of combustibles used to operate the furnaces are either coal, wood or fuel oil. These combustibles can cause asphyxiation and fainting. Hence the interest of using more ecological and more economical means. The overall purpose of this research is to show how to get rid of the classic scheme adopted by school maintenance managers who focus during maintenance work on the building per se and not on the building’s performance in order to improve, among others, the thermal comfort and indoor air quality of educational spaces, and especially work relating to heating. The analysis is demonstrated in a case study conducted on school using anthracite as combustible. Switching to another combustible that is less polluting and easily mobilized and quickly usable, in this case Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), as a first step towards environmentally friendly combustibles has made it possible to (i) reduce the carbon impact and (ii) improve the climate inside the classrooms and (iii) meet the expectations of stakeholders based on the Value-Based Maintenance Management (VBMM) approach. This is a first and unique experience in schools at nationwide which has highlighted the principle of green purchasing.
