Workshop Goals

• A Living Textbook
• Recognize and experience the energy efficient,
  environmentally sensitive and educational
  benefits associated with New Jerseys first USGBC
  certified LEED Gold public school, Summerfield
  Elementary School in Neptune Township.
• Analyze the benefits from the cost effectiveness
  (savings) and positive environmental impact of
  Green Design for schools.
• Live Event Learning
• Understand and appreciate the value of teaching
  for sustainability and how effectively designed
  schools can help students develop skills and
  lifestyles that will benefit their learning and
  their contributions to the global environment.
• Identify and implement strategies, ideas and
  instructional activities that can be incorporated
  into curricula in various school settings
  regardless of existing school facilities and
  surrounding environments.

Current School Environments

• 20 of America in schools every day
• 1/3 in need of extensive repair
• 1/2 have unsatisfactory environmental condition
• (ventilation, heating, lighting, noise, IAQ)
• What is the Answer?
• A school facility that creates a healthy
  environment that is conducive to learning while
  saving energy, resources and money.
• Green Schools promote
• Healthy places to learn
• Healthy places to teach
• Significant cost savings
• Effective hands on, live event learning
  opportunities
• Environmental stewardship

Benefits of Green Schools

• Healthy Places to Learn and Teach
• Increased attendance by students and teachers
• Improved student performance on standardized
  tests
• Reduced evidence of respiratory ailments
• Improved productivity in both students and
  teachers
• Economic /Environmental Advantages
• Reductions in Energy Usage
• Reduction in Water Usage
• Reduce Solid Waste
• On Average Green Schools Save 100,000 Per Year
• ( This equals the cost of 2 new teachers, 250 new
  computers, 5,000 new textbooks)
• If all school construction and renovation went
  Green today, we would see a savings of 20
  billion in the next ten years in energy savings
  alone.
• The positive impact on our environment would be
  monumental.
• Educational Benefits
• Teaching for Sustainability
• Stewards of Our Environment
• Hands on Live Event Learning

A Sustainable Design Success Story

• Our ideals, laws and customs should be based on
  the proposition that each generation, in turn,
  becomes the custodian rather than the absolute
  owner of our resources and each generation has
  the obligation to pass this inheritance on to the
  future.
