 Happy and healthy children who study in a positive and supportive learning environment are the most future oriented “output” of the project. Thanks to the initiative of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the funding of construction work was implemented into the project concept at the initial phase of PIE. The stakeholders were able to demonstrate changes in conditions on real buildings, that could be monitored before and after refurbishment. They generated real time data, and experienced the improvements in air quality and comfort first hand.

 All those experiences were included in the planning of the new project, combining PIE-2 and EEP. Thanks to the commitment and active cooperation of the Municipality of Ulaanbaatar (MUB) a shared financing for the construction work of 22 schools and kindergartens could be developed and implemented. 60 % of the costs of the construction work was covered by the SDC, and 40 % by the MUB.

In cases where public buildings have their own boiler system, the reduced costs for fuel (coal or wood) can be directly measured. If a flexible budget system is provided for these buildings, the saved costs can be allocated to other needs and can be spent more effectively to further promote learning conditions and a child friendly environment.

 Unfortunately, in the case of the buildings connected to the centralized district heating system, the energy savings are not presently directly reflected in the government expenditures. This negative fact is due to a tariff system that lacks any incentive to save energy. The tariffs are based on the volume of the building, not on the actual consumption of energy. Therefore, measures need to be undertaken to support energy-saving actions for speedier results.

 Prior to the refurbishment works, indoor temperatures ranged between 10 and 18 degrees in Schools. This caused discomfort, and prevented relaxed play, and concentrated learning. Due to the harsh conditions outside and the low temperatures, teachers tended to seal the windows and ventilation inlets to prevent cold air coming in. Unfortunately, these measures prevented the ventilation and exchange of the indoor air. This led to high humidity, and high concentrations of CO<sub>2</sub> in the inside air. The standard for recommended concentrations of CO<sub>2</sub> in educative buildings is at 1.000 parts per million (ppm). The measured values in those rooms was up to five times higher than this value. High concentration of CO<sub>2</sub> leads to tiredness, and less ability to concentrate. Low ventilation rates, high concentrations of CO<sub>2</sub>, and cold temperatures are good conditions for viruses, bacteria, and mould to spread in a room.

 Participating schools reported high absence rates of students, and teachers, on regular occasions throughout the year, prior to refurbishment. The air pollution in Ulaanbaatar, which is among the highest in the world, further aggravated this problem. Children, in particular suffer from lung and respiratory problems that often lead to pneumonia and other severe ilnesses, requiring medical treatment for many days or even weeks, each winter. This does not only lead to suffering and medical costs, but also requires parental care, and therefore produces high absence rates from economic activities.
