Munich International School has a long standing tradition of environmentally and climate-related projects. Students and staff, who are part of the Eco-Committee, meet regularly in order to evaluate and discuss ideas for improvement.

In early 2019, MIS signed a contract with a local energy contractor in order to convert to using renewable energy. By taking this step, the school will reduce its emissions by almost half and will significantly reduce the amount of energy use such as electric power, heating, ventilation etc.

The five building phases of the energy contracting concept involve the following actions:

PHASE 1 (Spring Break 2019) – completed

PHASE 2 (Summer Break 2019) – completed

PHASE 3 (Summer Break 2020)

PHASE 4 (estimated Summer Break 2021)

PHASE 5 (estimated Summer Break 2022)
