Analyzing Your School'S Energy Consumption

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a nationally accepted benchmark for design, performance and operation of green buildings. While few schools in the United States are officially labeled "green" construction, there are many smaller things that can make a school "greener," or more environmentally friendly. The LEED Rating System for Existing Buildings addresses:

whole-building cleaning and maintenance issues including chemical use
ongoing indoor air quality energy efficiency
water efficiency
recycling programs and facilities
exterior maintenance programs
systems upgrades to meet green building energy, water, indoor air quality and lighting performance standards
