Flexible Facility – the BIG issues
In aggregate, rural Alaska school buildings consume approximately:• Electricity $14.8 million/year• Heating Fuel $ 7.5 million/year
…that is about 1.2 gallons of fuel per square foot per year.
The ability to change square footage would be invaluable…
Flexible Examples…
Schools need to be able to adjust in size based on student enrollment.
