Rationale of School LocationLos Angeles, CaliforniaBy the coast Warm weather = lots of sun!
Solar- install panelsWind- turbines on side of school Hydro- water turbines connected to ocean transported to school
Wind Energy from windCaptured from turbinesCheap, renewable and pollution freeTurbines would be placed on one side of school Cost: $2-$3 per kWh
Floor Plan
Wind Turbines(on side of school, in open field) 25% power
Solar Panels(on top of roof, highest part of school) 40% power Hydro Turbines(underwater in ocean nearby school) 35% power School Building
Recycling PlanUse laptops for all assignments and homework Go paperlessUse smart boards for teaching Recycle bottlesReusable trays in cafeteria
ConclusionGreen schools:Cost less to operateImprove students' educationComfortable to learnCut down sicknessSaves energy, resources & money
