Studio G Principal Tamar Warburg presented the new Excel Academy Charter High School at the USGBC Green Building Showcase, highlighting the project’s many green design features:

·      Transit-Oriented: Adjacent to T stop, bus depot and bike paths.

·      Resilience: First floor is raised 12” anticipating revised FEMA flood plain maps.

·      Building Envelope:  R-values exceed Stretch Code, with triple-glazed windows.

·      Lighting: All-LED fixtures, with daylight and occupancy sensors. 

·      Rooftop PPV:  with a Power Purchase Agreement

Studio G continues to demonstrate that even with modest budgets for non-profit charter schools, we can design a high-performing, sustainable and delightful design.
