The Inevitable Solar School: Building the Sustainable Schools of the Future, Today
Autor Mark Hansonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 sep 2019
Sustainability has emerged as a widely accepted theme in school building design. Daylight and views, indoor air quality, responsible life-cycle materials selection, and energy and water efficiency are expected features. This book adds on-site solar energy, sufficient in many instances to meet all of a school's energy requirement, as a critical element of sustainability. The zero energy school is the sustainable school of the future.
Contrary to common expectations, zero energy sustainable schools are being built at costs that are competitive with regional school cost averages. This outcome requires teamwork between school administrators and their design and construction professionals, and the use of deliberate planning and procurement processes. Five case studies spanning the U.S. demonstrate that the sustainable school of the future is here today.

Recenzii
Zero energy buildings are a key strategy for meeting long-term energy and climate objectives. Schools are a great place to start as there are many good examples and they can be a great teaching tool for today's youth who will become the leaders of tomorrow. The Inevitable Solar School provides a road map on why and how to build these schools, including extensive case studies that school administrators and designers can learn from.
Mark Hanson has authored a visionary, timely and practical book on the implementation of zero net energy solar schools and buildings. As a professional resource economist, with extensive experience in the building industry, Dr. Hanson provides a motivating hands-on "how-to" book, with a wealth of technical, financial, and institutional guidelines as well as extensive case studies covering a wide range of school types and locations. This book should be mandatory reading today for school administrators, facility managers, business managers, board members, community members, teachers, students and building professionals who have the opportunity to evaluate and build a zero net energy school, including new buildings and retrofits.
Schools touch the lives of many on a daily basis and nearly everyone has been reached at some time through a school. These buildings are a perfect transition point of shifting buildings from "taking" to buildings that can give back-through producing more energy than then consume. There is no reason for schools to be anything but zero energy moving forward, and this book provides the motivation and rationale to help make zero energy schools commonplace.
