RED invokes feelings of power, fire, alarm, danger and emergency. raises a room’s energy level. http://jrscience.wcp.muohio.edu/nsfall99/ProposalArticles/Draft1Howcoloreffectsyour.html

Going Green Going green has become very popular in public and private schools. So far at least 50 schools have gone green from the state of Maine to the state of California.

Why Go Green? A Healthy Environment Teacher Retention Financial Gains Hands-on-learning

Going Green Examples Some examples of going green is as follows: Using less energy Using less water Using paint that does not have lead

USGBC According to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) green schools use 33 percent less energy 32 percent less water. Savings $60,000 in energy bills 360,000 gallons (43%)of water a year.

What We Would Save If every new school or every renovated school were totally green, in just energy savings alone, the school would save approximately $20 billion dollars over a 10 year time frame. Although money is a driving force, there is more to going green than money.

A 2006 report by the American Federation of Teachers called “Building Minds, Minding Buildings” made some astounding discoveries. 14 million students attend schools dangerous to their health and considered substandard.

What Studies Show Studies show the physical condition of a school building impacts student learning. Primary causes effecting student performance. lighting air quality Three elementary schools were examined in California, Washington, and Colorado.

It was found that classrooms with abundant light had students with higher learning rates, and better test scores than students in classrooms that did not have the same amount of natural light. A report by the U.S. Green Building Council showed test scores went up dramatically in Charles Young Elementary School after the school was renovated in Washington, D.C. in 1997.

Over half of our nations schools, approximately 115,000 schools, are linked to poor indoor air quality Teachers and students spend most of their time indoors during the school day. This leads to asthma attacks and respiratory infections which lead to more sick days.

Accessibility for Students with Disabilities

Guidelines Public schools have guidelines that they must adhere to for students with disabilities. These standards apply to new construction or a school undergoing renovations.

Guidelines When the guidelines were developed, they were developed with adults in mind. The guidelines are adjusted when necessary when it comes to children. These guidelines were developed by the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board in January of 1998.

Guidelines These guidelines are federal guidelines and were to be incorporated into the Americans Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines in 1998. Schools, Staff, parents and designers have access to these guidelines.

Guidelines One set of standards that apply to school libraries in the ADAAG guidelines is: Standard 4.0: Accessible Elements and Spaces: Scope & Technical Requirements

ADAAG Standards 4.1 Minimum Requirements 4.2 Space Allowance and Reach Ranges 4.3 Accessible Route 4.4 Protruding Objects 4.5 Ground and Floor Surfaces

ADAAG Standards 4.13 Doors 4.25 Storage 4.27 Controls and Operating Mechanisms 4.28 Alarms 4.30 Storage 4.31 Telephones 4.32 Fixed or Built-in Seating and Tables 4.32.5 Children’s Fixed or Built in Seating and Tables

ADA Guidelines The other set of standards that apply to school libraries is: 8.0: Libraries 8.1 General 8.2 Reading and Study Areas 8.3 Checkout Areas 8.4 Card Catalogs and Magazine Displays 8.5 Stacks Appendix A.4.2.5 Reach – Children’s Reach Ranges

COMAR Another set of guidelines that should be looked at is the Maryland Accessibility Code (COMAR .05.02.02). These accessibility codes apply to new construction and facilities that are undergoing renovations as well.
