Day 168: Field Trip!

Our Building Systems Interface class took a field trip today to Providence Career and Technical Academy. The building was just finished last year and is certified under CHPS: The Collaborative for High Performance Schools. The building engineer gave our class a terrific tour of the automated HVAC systems at work in the building.

Everything in this building is geared toward the thermal comfort and environmental safety of the staff and students.
