VIDEO: Reducing Trenton's Carbon Foot Print Old-School Style
Richard C. Hedke Elementary School was built in 1955, but the recent updates provided by a bond issue have made it one of the most energy-efficient schools in the district.
Nearly all of the updates to Hedke Elementary School provided by a recent bond issue are complete and the result is a building worthy to hold the coveted name of Green School.
From windows to heating and cooling, the building's major energy-based components have all been redone. The district now saves more than $30,000 each year in energy costs.
Patch caught up with Hedke Principal Vince Porecca, who showed us the ins and outs of being a Green School.
