Building Energy Efficient Schools
Abstract
Many new school buildings consume only half the
energy required by similar efficient structures designed
without energy performance as a design criterion.
These are comfortable and efficient while
construction costs remain about the same as those
for extremely inefficient buildings. To accomplish
this, the school administrator must be an active
participant in the design process. Energy efficient
school design is a team effort involving the architect,
engineer, and school administrator. This
paper presents concepts and approaches to guide new
school projects for energy efficiency. Comments or
approaches for energy efficiency in mechanical and
electrical systems are included.
