Del Oro High School
(# 238) |
|
|
|
| Situated amidst the expansive agricultural canvas of Bakersfield, California, our vision for Del Oro High School emerged as a testament to sustainable innovation on a constrained budget. With a commitment to creating future-focused learning environments for 2,500 students, our team designed a Zero Net Energy facility that transcends traditional educational paradigms. Drawing inspiration from the quilted landscape formed by the diverse farms viewed from above, Del Oro mirrors the collaborative essence of agriculture in education. Del Oro distinguishes itself through high-performance measures, surpassing Title 24 expectations and projecting a 20 percent improvement in performance. Anticipating a remarkable 100 percent reduction in Energy Use Intensity (EUI), Del Oro High School is the region's first Zero Net Energy high school (certification pending). |
