  Schools Build Green

How does Building Green benefit educators? Edutopia.org states that there is "A host of data showing that students learn better in environmentally friendly spaces and that schools can save significantly on operating costs by building green".

"In educational building, green builders pay particular attention to natural daylight, air quality, and improved acoustics, which leads to reduced sick days for both teachers (strained vocal chords are a primary reason for absenteeism) and students."
