  1. 2002 State Energy Program/Rebuild America National Conference Improving Performance in Portable Classrooms30 July 2002 • 3:30-5:30 Stephanie Thomas, Florida Solar Energy Center A Research Institute of the University of Central Florida High Performance Buildings

  2. FSEC PERCFlorida Solar Energy CenterPerformance Enhanced Relocatable Classrooms Who am I? Stephanie Thomas - Design Analyst, FSEC What do I do? Project Lead for PERC Why am I here? Introduce PERC Sponsors? National Association of State Energy Officials DOE Energy Smart Schools High Performance Buildings

  3. FSEC PERC Why PERC? • 36% of the nation’s schools use relocatables • Relocatables are plagued as energy hogs • Suspected source of health problems • Perceived as low quality learning environment • Constructed to the minimum standards High Performance Buildings

  4. FSEC PERC Why PERC? High Performance Buildings
