NeoCity Academy
Kissimmee, Florida
NeoCity Academy is a new 500-student public STEM high school on the NeoCity Campus in Osceola County, Florida. It’s also the first net-zero-energy school in Florida. The core stakeholder design team was tasked with designing the high school within the state-mandated budget and space requirements. NeoCity Academy has been developed as a 21st-century, immersive learning, STEM-focused school that will offer students three curriculum paths: Advanced Engineering, Biomedical, and Cyber Security. The school was designed to meet a performance goal of 76% less energy use over typical and realize a zero energy use over the course of 12 months. The school’s high-performance design and ultra-low energy use saves $115,000 per year on energy costs and is expected to save almost $2.7 million over 20 years in life cycle costs compared with a typical district school. This innovative school will be a key teaching tool in support of the development and execution of its high-tech curriculum.
