Architectural Excellence : Johnson Architecture teamed up with Clayton Building Solutions to build a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) school on the Clayton Homes Campus.
The design focus was on efficiency, sustainability and speed of construction, along with a “home-type” comfort feel for the students and faculty. The buildings were built over a two week period at the Norris Facility in Bean Station, Tennessee. The module exteriors were a combination of cement panel on the top portion of the exterior and a cultured stone for the bottom portion of the building. The standing steel roof completed the image required for this corporate location. The interior of the units have state-of-the-art white boards and LCD projection units interconnected to the wifi systems. The system is build on an iPad base for student use, so all presentations are tied directly into the students' iPads, creating a seamless transfer of information for study.
Cost Energy Effectiveness : The tankless water heaters are reported to save between 30% to 50% of typical tank type units. The negative-positive pressure for air infiltration was less than .25 CFM which reduces overall energy usage. Bathroom lighting has occupancy sensors so they are only on while in use, which again focuses on reduced energy consumption. Motion sensors are used on faucets and commodes to reduce overall water consumption; faucets are 1.25 GPM and commodes are 1.08 GPF. Insulation exceeds minimum requirements for the regional energy codes. This factor again targets the reduction in overall energy usage for the classroom buildings (R-30-19-30).

Technical Innovation : All flooring products are sustainable products with commercial vinyl in the student classrooms and ceramic flooring and walls in the bathrooms. All exterior products also fall in the sustainable area. Lighting is dimmable high-efficiency LED. LED lighting reduces energy usage by up to 80%, impacting the short and long-term overhead cost for the school building. Occupancy sensors are used to reduce lighting loads for convenience, security and long term energy savings. LED products have the potential to last two to three times longer compared to fluorescent and 10 times longer compared to incandescent. LEDs emit light in a specific direction, reducing the need for reflectors and diffusers that can trap light. This feature makes LEDs more efficient for many uses such as recessed down lights and task lighting. This is perfect for an educational environment. LEDs emit very little heat. In comparison, incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat and CFLs release about 80%.
