Green Building Products and Programs
K-12 and Higher Education
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has provided unprecedented levels of federal funding for education and a unique opportunity for schools and school districts to make investments that will produce long-term sustainability impacts.
Schools built or remodeled with a recognized green building rating system like Green Globes, which is mentioned by name in the U.S. Department of Education's whitepaper, "Guidance Impact Aid Section 8007 School Construction Funds Made Available Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009", can save money on utility bills and improve indoor air quality - not to mention lessen the building's environmental footprint.
