我们最新的学校在环保设计、建设和运营方面受到了赞誉。位于Saddle Ridge的Hugh A. Bennett学校是卡尔加里教育委员会最新获得绿色建筑认证机构LEED金级认证的设施，可容纳600名学生，为幼儿园至四年级学生提供教育。

领导能源和环境设计（LEED）是一种评估工具和评级系统，在全球160多个国家被认可为绿色建筑的卓越标志。

“学生学习的物理环境在影响学生并帮助他们准备成为复杂和不断变化的世界的公民方面起着重要作用，”设施与环境服务主管Dany Breton表示，“通过获得LEED金级认证，Hugh A. Bennett学校将为学生提供一个健康的学习环境，并成为可持续发展的现实模型。”

绿色建筑为学生、员工和访客提供了更健康的室内环境。符合LEED要求的学校设计和建造均考虑到自然采光、较好的通风以及使用增强室内空气质量的材料。它们通过节约能源、减少用水量、最小化室内噪音并提供更好的隔热和温度控制来实现。生活、学习和工作在这些建筑中的员工和学生经研究发现更具生产力、表现更出色和更健康。

Hugh A. Bennett学校于2016年12月开放，成为卡尔加里教育委员会管理的第八所获得LEED金级认证的学校。卡尔加里教育委员会与省政府合作，努力争取所有新建学校达到LEED银级评级。

获得LEED金级认证的CBE学校包括：

• Captain Nichola Goddard 学校
• Cranston 学校
• McKenzie Towne 学校
• Nelson Mandela 高中
• Nose Creek 学校
• Ted Harrison 学校
• Twelve Mile Coulee 学校

​Our newest schools are drawing accolades for environmentally sound design, construction and operation. Hugh A. Bennett School – a 600-student-capacity kindergarten to Grade 4 school in Saddle Ridge – is the newest Calgary Board of Education facility to receive LEED Gold certification from the Green Building Certification Institute.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design® (LEED) is an evaluation tool and a rating system that is recognized in over 160 countries as the international mark of excellence for green buildings.

“The physical environment where students learn plays an important role in influencing students and helping them prepare to become citizens in a complex and ever-changing world,” says Dany Breton, Superintendent of Facilities & Environmental Services. “By attaining LEED gold certification, Hugh A. Bennett School will both provide a healthy learning environment and a real life model of sustainable development.”

Green buildings contribute to a healthier indoor environment for students, staff, and visitors. Schools that meet LEED requirements are designed and built with natural daylight, better ventilation and are furnished with materials that enhance indoor air quality. They are engineered to conserve energy, decrease water consumption, minimize indoor noise and create better thermal comfort through increased insulation and improved temperature control. Staff and students who live, learn and work in these buildings have been found to be more productive, higher performing and healthier.

Hugh A. Bennett opened in December 2016 and joins the Education Centre and seven other CBE schools in receiving LEED Gold certification. Construction of this school was managed by the CBE, which, in collaboration with the Provincial Government, strives to achieve a LEED Silver rating for all new school construction. 

The list of CBE schools with LEED Gold certification also includes:

• Captain Nichola Goddard School
• Cranston School
• McKenzie Towne School
• Nelson Mandela High School
• Nose Creek School
• Ted Harrison School
• Twelve Mile Coulee School
