If all new school construction and school renovations went green starting today, energy savings alone would total $20 billion over the next 10 years.
Green schools typically cost less than $3 per square foot more to build, an investment that is paid back within a few years of operation. Over the lifetime of the school, the savings keep adding up.
Take the green schools math challenge
If green schools save an average of $100,000 per year
And a typical school facility lasts 42 years
Then over the lifetime of a school building, what could the savings amount to?
Do the math: Green schools make sense for students, teachers and the bottom line.
