Integrated School Building Technologies for High Performance Schools
 The California Energy Commission demonstrated high performance design
concepts that provide good lighting, meet improved acoustical standards,
use advanced HVAC technologies and monitor and control indoor air
quality and reduce energy use in four public K-12 schools. The two
demonstration schools - Alder Creek Middle School in Truckee, California
and the Cesar Chavez Education Complex in Oakland, California were
located in different climate zones, incorporate a high level of
daylighting; meet ASHRAE NC 30 acoustical standards; use advanced HVAC
and duct technologies and controls for monitoring and control of indoor
air quality (IAQ). The schools exceed California building standards by
up to 20% while lowering life cycle costs.
