  Going Green: Eco-friendly Schools

  • On average, green schools use 33 percent less energy and 32 percent less water, according to USGBC.
  • Seneca Creek, for instance, skims about $60,000 off its annual energy bill and conserves about 43 percent—or 360,000 gallons—of water each year. And Fossil Ridge is 60 percent more energy efficient, saving about $11,500 annually on water alone. If all new school construction and renovations starting today were designed green, energy savings alone would total $20 billion over the next 10 years.
