Discovery Elementary School joins DOE’s Zero Energy Schools Accelerator

2RW is proud to have worked with VMDO on Discovery Elementary School in Arlington, Virginia — one of the first net zero energy schools in the Mid-Atlantic and one of the largest in the U.S. As a net-zero facility, the amount of energy produced annually by the school’s on-site renewable energy sources is equal to the amount of energy it uses annually. As part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Schools Accelerator Program, Discovery Elementary serves as a model for other schools and, perhaps more importantly, helps students develop skills they need to become long-term stewards of our environment.
