BECOMING GREEN Santa Margarita High School Academic Building

You see it everywhere BECOMING GREEN

What is LEED LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification provides independent verification that a building project meets the highest green building and performance measures. All certified projects receive a LEED plaque, which is the nationally recognized symbol demonstrating that a building is environmentally responsible, profitable and a healthy place to live and work. BECOMING GREEN

Why should we think green IMPACT: 12 % Water Use 30 % Greenhouse Gas Emissions 65 % Waste Output 70 % Electricity Consumption BECOMING GREEN

What are the benefits SAVINGS: ENERGY SAVINGS 30% CARBON SAVINGS 35% WATER USE SAVINGS 30-50% WASTE COST SAVINGS 50-90% BECOMING GREEN

PRODUCTIVITY: 20% BETTER TEST PERFORMANCE BECOMING GREEN What are the benefits

What is the LEED What is the LEED RATING SYSTEM Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy & Atmosphere Materials & Resources Indoor Environmental Quality Innovation & Design Process BECOMING GREEN

Goals –Develop only appropriate sites –Protect natural and agricultural areas –Reduce need for automobile use 1. SUSTAINABLE SITES BECOMING GREEN

Erosion Control Plan –Site Selection –Alternative Transportation (Public transportation) (Fuel efficient vehicles) (Bicycle Storage & Changing room) (Parking capacity) –Protect & Restore Habitat –Stormwater Design –Heat Island Effect non-roof –Light Pollution reduction SUSTAINABLE SITES SUSTAINABLE SITES BECOMING GREEN Based on the current design
