Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several years, an impressive array of technologies, information, and other resources have been developed to improve the way school buildings are designed and constructed. These tools can be used to change the traditional approach to school building in the United States - an approach that has a considerable negative impact on the natural environment and has produced many facilities that are costly to operate, difficult to maintain, and in some cases, unhealthy for children and staff. With tens of billions of dollars to be invested in school building programs in the coming years, states and school districts have a unique opportunity to use the wealth of information and other resources now available to maximize their investment in school facilities.
