  • How are healthy schools designed?
    This report "High performance schools: Affordable green design for K-12 schools" by Patricia Plympton, John Brown, and Kara Stevens from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory shows how design can lead to huge energy savings. Read report at: www.osti.gov

  • What community benefits does a well-designed healthy school bring?
    The best healthy schools are designed by involving members of the school community in the design process. Learn more about healthy school design at www.ecoschools.com
