American Canyon HS

American Canyon High School is to be one of the greenest, most efficient campuses in the state.

Housing some 2200 students with over 260,000 square feet, American Canyon High School will be one of the biggest and most progressive campuses in the Napa Valley Unified School District.  The campus will utilize geotechnical bore fields drilled under the football fields and baseball diamonds as a natural heat sink.  The progressive heating and cooling system is just one way the campus will be saving on its utility bills.  Roof lined with Photo Voltaic (PV) panels will provide up to 55% of the campuses electrical requirements.  Waterless urinals and water-saving lavatories will reduce potable water use by as much as 55%.

Bell Products, Inc. is tasked with bringing all the mechanical heating and cooling equipment online.  Not only will Bell Products be installing all the energy efficient heating and cooling equipment and ductwork, they will also be charge of integrating the high-tech Building Management System (BMS).  The BMS system will optimize the operation of the already highly efficient equipment to produce a comfortable learning environment with the least amount of energy consumption.
