Submitted by: Ben WilhelmIn Camden, S.C. Shiel Sexton is constructing the new Jackson Elementary School. What makes this 81,000 s.f. structure so noteworthy is the green design and building techniques being incorporated into the school. The facility's 5.6 kw system will actually feed power back to the grid with an array of 10 additional solar panels to power two large water heaters using solar thermal technology. Also the system will include a four panel system to provide the lighting for the monument sign at the main entrance. Other innovative technologies being used include a system of solar tubes that direct soft natural light to the building through a light pipe using reflective surfaces directed to indoor spaces. The school is LEED registered with a goal of Gold Certification.
