Capital E "is a premier provider of strategic consulting, technology assessment and deployment, and advisory services to firms and investors in the clean energy industry." They published Greening America's Schools: Costs and Benefits (Gregory Kats, October/2006), a 28 page article that "conclusively demonstrates the financial, environmental, and other benefits of using green technologies in schools."
A review of 30 'green' schools found the cost increase was less than 2% or $3/square foot, on an average national cost of $150/square foot. This generated direct savings to schools of about $12/square foot (energy/water consumption, teacher retention, health costs). Total savings were estimated at about $70/square foot which included various community benefits. The largest factor ($49/square foot) was increased future earnings of students, due to an improved learning experience. Various non-quantifiable benefits are also explored.
