Oregon Episcopal School is an independent PK-12 school located in Southwest Portland. The Lower School building serves about 350 children in grades PK through 5. Having an aggressive low energy consumption target fits well in our school that features an inquiry-based approach to education, where the building itself provides an important learning tool. The major energy efficiency strategy employed in the building was to construct a high-performing building envelope and rely on passive cooling.
