The Clearview Elementary School in Hanover, Pennsylvania is a 43,000 square foot new construction project. The new school replaces an existing facility at the same location and serves kindergarten through grade 4.

Some project highlights include building commissioning, a building integrated sundial, a 30% reduction in water use, a 40% reduction in energy use, detailed attention to materials selection, superior indoor air quality, controllable building systems, and construction waste management.

The school district has further committed to augmenting its curriculum to include the lessons that the building teaches. The district will also conduct a student performance study in partnership with a local university to compare test results in this daylit facility with test results in its other elementary schools.

Clearview is expected to use 40% less energy than that of a conventional school building that is minimally compliant with ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1. This will be achieved through the use of insulated concrete forms, triple glazed windows, daylighting, indirect lighting, ground-source heat pumps, and an underfloor air system.
