Summary
The Gabrielle Roy K-12 School is a pilot project of Green Building BC, offering a healthy, sunlit environment. The use of glazing and solar shades on the southern façade allows light and solar heat to enter classrooms, limiting solar glare and minimizing the need for supplemental light.
To boost indoor air quality low-emitting materials are used including Marmoleum flooring, exposed concrete instead of gypsum wall board, and ceramic tiles. Energy efficiency strategies include demand ventilation, heat pipe heat reclaim, high efficiency windows, and lighting density at 1.1w/sq ft.
Pilot projects such as this provide valuable information regarding the process and design of future green schools.
