5Goals
- Reduced environmental impact
- Minimize the negative long-term effect on the
environment - Reducing unnecessary resource extraction -
Conserve natural resources - Reducing waste generation - Use recyclable /
recycled / renewable materials - Reduced impacts to air quality
- Provide for environmental and interior air
quality - By selecting low-emitting materials
- By using indoor air quality monitors
- Reduced construction and maintenance costs
- By specifying easy-to-maintain materials
- By pursuing alternative funding opportunities -
Provide for aggressive and thorough pursuit of
rebates and incentives - Reduced operational costs
- Improve lighting and mitigate noise
- Improve occupant performance and reduce
absenteeism - Energy savings
- Reduced replacement of materials
The following principles were approved by the
District Board of Trustees for the Proposition A
Bond Program on March 6, 2002.
6Collaboration

12Materials and Resources
- Americans spend approximately 90 of their time
indoors - Indoor air pollution is one of the top five
environmental risks to public health. - Indoor air is often more polluted than outdoor
air - IEQ impacts occupant productivity, performance,
health, and satisfaction
