Brentwood School Installs Energy Efficient Classrooms

Four Gen7 green modular classrooms arrived at Brentwood School recently, making renewable energy a reality for the sustainability-conscious K-12 independent school. Designed to pursue LEED Gold certification, the new state-of-the-art classrooms will provide a new wing of permanent, high-performance learning space expected to deliver substantial energy savings.

Constructed entirely from recycled materials and powered by roof-mounted solar panels, Brentwood School’s newest classrooms will generate enough energy every year to cover 100% of their electricity usage, making them Los Angeles’ first Zero Net Energy classrooms. Because the solar panels are shipped in place, the classrooms will begin generating energy the same day they’re installed.

“True to our mission of embracing high standards of character, commitment, and achievement, with Gen7 we set a new standard for ourselves in terms of environmental responsibility and the use of learning space as a teaching tool.†Said Brentwood School’s Head of School Dr. Mike Riera.

Gen7 classrooms are designed for both health and comfort, making them the ideal learning environment. Each Zero Net Energy classroom is also a hands-on teaching tool, equipped with its own interactive SMART board. An Energy Efficiency Education Dashboard is being developed that displays the building’s performance data and demonstrates sustainable initiatives, such as energy production and consumption, LEED scorecard, green features and student tutorials.
