GREEN RESOURCES__________________________________________________

• USGBC LEED for schools www.usgbc.orgUSGBC’s green building rating system for the design and construction of high-performance green schools.

• Greening America’s Schools: Costs and Benefits www. usgbc.org/showfile.aspx?Document1D=2908New report, prepared by Capital E, that documents the financial costs and benefits of green schools compared to conventional schools and demonstrates that greening school design provides an extraordinarily cost-effective way to enhance student learning, reduce health and operational costs and, ultimately, increase school quality and competitiveness.

• NCEF Green Schools Resource Lists www.edfacilities.org/r1/high_performance.cfm

Compiled by the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities a website offering helpful guidelines for starting a program and free materials that include key learning concepts for green schools, an annotated bibliography of green schools instructional resources, curriculum materials, and information about ways to save energy in schools.
