Featured Video: LEED Silver High School in Colorado

This video is brief walk-through of the huge, 300,000 square foot Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Collins Colorado.  It earned LEED for Schools Silver certification and utilizes over 70% recycled material, solar panels  and heavy daylighting.  The best part of the video is that is is primarily narrated by students of the school.

A great statistic in this video is that the estimated $100,000 in energy savings each year translates into 2 new teachers on staff.  Thinking back to my high school days, it seems that facilities have come a long, long way.

Please let us know of any other LEED for Schools projects that you would like us to share.
