Vella Campus has all the tools to be one of the most energy efficient schools in the United States .  Every classroom, the gymnasium, cafeteria, wood shop, and library are all day-lighted using Sunoptics Day-lighting Systems.  When you think of a schools energy usage, two things come to mind; the electric lighting, and the HVAC.

At 50 foot candles of designed light level, Vella Campus has the ability to keep their lights off 85% of the year and at the same time reduce their air-conditioning loads.
