Elementary is LEED Certified
Thornwilde Elementary School, designed with energy efficiency in mind, is the first and only elementary school in Northern Kentucky (north of the Lexington and Louisville areas) to receive LEED Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
LEED -- Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes and neighborhoods. LEED is considered the benchmark for the true pedigree of energy efficient design.
The Boone County School District has always been a leader in energy efficient design and is very proud of the geothermal concepts, and other cost saving, life cycle designs implemented on several of our buildings.
