Lick-Wilmerding High School is a private school serving more than 400 students in San Francisco. The new Technology and Design Center is equipped with solar panels, natural daylighting, on-demand hot water and other design features that minimize energy use while improving the learning environment. Changing cafeteria practices eliminated plastic water bottles and increased composting and recycling. Through increased waste diversion, building efciency and solar electricity generation, this high school saves thousands of dollars in energy and waste disposal bills annually and avoids about 500 tons of GHG emissions.
