ARXX Delivers First LEED School in California with 26% Lower Energy Cost

When the Los Paseos elementary school needed to build a new multi purpose building, they set demanding design requirements: 12,000 square feet for school, office and community use; energy performance exceeding California’s strict Title 24; a structure tough enough to support a long-span steel roof; and noise reduction so that the building didn’t interfere with classes next door.

ARXX ICF met and exceeded these goals, helping Los Paseos claim the title of first LEED certified school in California, while also saving $10,000 per year in energy costs, and allowing them to use a smaller HVAC system.

ARXX proved to be particularly appropriate for this type of project because of the competitive cost to build; large reduction in operating costs; short project schedule; and greater occupant comfort (in temperature and quiet).
