Executive Summary

Introduction and Project Background

The first analysis goes over which LEED credits could have been sought to make Pasadena Elementary School a LEED Certified Building.

Analysis 1: LEED Building Certification

In the second analysis I designed a greenroof consisting of Green Roof Blocks.

Analysis 2: Greenroof Design

An alternative system of solar lights were looked at for use in the parking lot. They are examined in the third analysis.

Analysis 3: Solar Parking Lot Lights

Since Pasadena Elementary School demolished an existing building and built a new structure, it was researched what measures could have been taken and the savings that could have become if it was chosen to renovate the existing building instead.

Analysis 4: Building Reuse
