The new APS Prototype Elementary Schools have been designed to have Hot Water for the Kitchen and the entire building be provided with preheated solar hot water. Three four foot by eight foot panels will be located near the front entry to the building, and have a dual function - providing shade from the sun for the windows in the administration area. This sustainable design practice along with a high efficiency HVA/C system will reduce the energy consumption of the building by an estimated 47%!
