Green Building

The green building category is designed to help schools and districts design and construct facilities that use less energy and water, protect natural resources such as soil, and use non-toxic and sustainable building materials.

For ideas on how your school and district can design and build greener facilities, review the ideas and tips listed in the green building criteria.

Schools and school districts can select green building as one of the optional categories in either level two or level three of the King County Green Schools Program. Completing the green building criteria will fulfill one of the requirements toward receiving recognition as a level two or level three King County Green School or Green School District. See how the program works.
