What initially began as a “repeat” school design resulted in one of the greenest elementary schools in the state of Texas without adding any costs to the district’s capital budget. When SHW Group and Spring ISD first began exploring the goals for the new school, conversations quickly turned to daylighting, energy efficiency and water conservation. This led to an original sustainable, high-performance school designed as a teaching tool that will educate generations of students about resource conservation. Pacesetting sustainability The school was designed to achieve LEED Gold certification and has already been accepted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to receive an ENERGY STAR rating due to its energy-efficient building design. In addition, SHW Group designed the school to meet criteria for Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS), the nation’s first green building rating program especially designed for K-12 schools. The building will also be the first school in Houston to use geothermal heating and cooling, which is expected to save at least 25 percent in energy consumption over the current code. Once complete, the school will be a two-story rectangular building oriented with long sides facing north and south. Each classroom will have natural light and the south-facing classrooms will take advantage of daylight harvesting. In addition, the building was designed to have lights off in the classrooms 75 percent of the time, so each room will have sensors that turns the lights on and off based on levels of natural light. Teaching tool Before the school opens, Spring will work with Cambridge Strategic Services to design an environment-focused, project-based curriculum. This will ensure that the entire school and its sustainable elements are teaching tools. For example, the entry to the building will be alongside a science garden and eco-pond that includes an above-ground cistern and a water trough. These can be used to teach children integrated concepts about math and science that allow for real-world experiences. Under the parking lot and playgrounds is a geothermal well field that will house a system of tubes and valves that take hot and cold water in and out of the building. Through the use of a web-based learning tool, students will be able to interact with the building systems and know the temperature of the water as it leaves the building and when it returns from deep in the earth. Additional green features include: A highly reflective white-colored roofAn on-site wind turbine, 10,000-kilowatts of roof-mounted photovoltaic cells which will convert sunlight directly into electricityA butterfly garden along a walking trailAn underground cistern that will collect rainwater from the roof and be used to flush toilets and urinalsTrees from the existing site will be reused in the building as desks, benches and conference room tablesMany of the materials used for its construction will be made with recycled content or made of rapidly renewable resourcesThe school will also use less water by having no irrigation
