An increasing number of school districts are investing in ultra-low energy facilities and renewables as a way to save on utility costs and create healthier and more productive learning environments for students and staff. The Zero Energy Schools Watchlist released by the New Buildings Institute features 219 school buildings across the United States and Canada that are working to achieve the highest levels of energy performance. Read about 5 must haves to achieve high marks in ultra-low energy schools and visit the Zero Energy Schools Resource Hub to find resources on state policies and national programs working toward zero energy schools; districts pursuing zero energy and the strategies they use to achieve this target; and feasibility and case studies of successful zero energy school buildings.
