The Educational
Facilities Construction and Financing Act provides that the design of
school facilities should incorporate maximum operating efficiencies
and new technologies to advance energy efficiency of school facilities
and the efficiency of other school building systems. The Economic Development
Authority (EDA) will utilize energy efficient design specifications
for school facilities. Energy efficiency, resource efficiency, and sustainability
are all design concepts that make the school building function better
in its environment, as well as provide students with the opportunity
to learn responsible energy conservation techniques by example, rather
than just by textbook.
