How to Save Money and Energy When Deploying Advanced Classrooms
Interested to learn how advanced-technology classrooms can reduce your costs?
An independent analysis of learning space design concepts by The Sextant Group showed that a ClassSpot-based system design can cut the 5-year cost of a typical classroom by 36% and cut associated energy costs by 31%. For a PBL-style classroom the cost savings can exceed 50%.
Tidebreak’s whitepaper, “Smart(er) Classrooms at Smaller Expense” lays out the detailed total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis that shows how ClassSpot can save your campus money and reduce energy use, all while providing more capabilities that traditional designs.
