“The proposed Middle School Addition and Renovations will be designed using NY-CHPS High Performance School Guidelines and to achieve maximum sustainability. The proposal creates larger space with lower operating costs by utilizing the LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™, which are voluntary, consensus-based standards to support and certify successful green building design, construction, and operations.”
You might to want to also revise this one after last years fiasco. Just putting a roof on this thing is gonna be a god dam job. Lets not abandon leed but lets fix the heating a/c with a energy efficient system as a first step. This alone will save money and reduce the carbon footprint.
