Join us for an exclusive tour of P.S. 62: The Kathleen Grimm School for Leadership and Sustainability—the first net-zero-energy school in New York City. Using onsite renewable sources, this pioneering elementary school is designed to harvest as much energy as it uses on an annual basis.


As the NYC School Construction Authority’s first “sustainability lab,” the building incorporates a host of sustainable features, including an ultra-tight building envelope, daylit offset corridors, a geo-exchange system, a solar thermal system for hot water, as well as a vegetable garden and greenhouse. Come explore this trailblazing school with a curriculum that doesn’t stop in the classroom.

Speakers:

Engineer, In Posse LLC

Caroline Yu
Senior Architectural Professional, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM)
