The building is passively heated and cooled and has an enhanced envelope, which was cost neutral to the project. The natural ventilation stack allows open windows to induce cool air into the space done by using the buoyancy of hot air. Additionally, designers created a system of green lights that alert students and teachers as to when temperatures outdoors are favorable to open the windows.
