This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

• Lower energy and water costs, improved teacher retention,
and lower health costs directly save green schools about $12
per square foot, four times the additional cost of going green.
Financial savings to the broader community are significantly
larger, and include lower air and water pollution, and a better
educated and compensated workforce.
• Green schools use daylighting strategies to create
environments that lessen distractions and encourage
student participation. Students in classrooms with
abundant daylight had up to 25 percent higher learning
rates and test scores in reading and math than their
peers in rooms with less natural light.
• Schools with environmental education programs
increase critical thinking skills and score higher on
standardized tests in math, reading, writing and
listening. Teachers can use the building as the basis
for project-based, experiential learning and STEM
education.
• Studies show that green schools reduce teacher
turnover rates by 3% and increase productivity by
3%.
• Students in America miss approximately 14 million
school days per year because of asthma, which is
exacerbated by poor indoor air quality.
• Lower-income and minority children disproportionately suffer
from poor indoor air quality and related problems in conventional
schools. They are 30-50% more likely to have respiratory
problems that lead to increased absenteeism and diminished
learning and test scores.
• Nurses at green schools report fewer clinic visits, students
note less eye-nose-throat irritation and fewer asthma-related
incidents.
WHY GREEN SCHOOLS?
20% of America’s population spends about six hours a day in a school building.
DID YOU KNOW?
If all new U.S. school construction and renovation went green today, the total energy
savings alone would be $20 billionover the next 10 years.

for these new systems, as well as further their knowledge and
experience of working with the cutting edge environmental design
that gives them hands on experience for GREEN-COLLAR jobs.

WHAT CAN WE DO?
5 YEAR MASTER PLAN
12. IN 2007, OVER $35 BILLION
TAX DOLLARS WERE SPENT
ON K-12 CONSTRUCTION.
IT’S THE LARGEST CONSTRUCTION SECTOR OF
THE ECONOMY.
The average green school saves $100,000 per year on oper-
ating costs. That’s enough to:
• Hire 2 NEW TEACHERS
• Buy 200 NEW COMPUTERS
• Purchase 5000 TEXTBOOKS
If all new U.S. school construction and renovation went green
today, the total energy savings alone would be
$20 BILLION OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS.
GREEN INVESTMENT
GREEN SCHOOL COSTS:
$3/sq.ft. [or 2%] more than conventional schools
GREEN SCHOOL SAVINGS:
$7/sq.ft for an upgraded school
$70/sq.ft. including indirect savings for the school and community
THAT’S 20 TIMESAS HIGH AS
THE COST OF GOING GREEN!
NOT TO MENTION...
Green schools reduce teacher turnover rates, an expense which costs the nation’s
school districts at least $7.2 billion a year.
Green schools increase property values. According to 2005 survey, 87 percent of
school executives who have invested in green buildings report improved community
image as one of the top benefits of green schools. Well-regarded schools increase
property values and encourage business investment and job creation.
Students miss more than 14 million school days a year because of asthma
exacerbated by poor indoor air quality. This amount equals $1,650 per child — costs
borne not by the schools but by the students and their families. A recent study found
an average reduction of 38.5 percent in asthma in buildings with improved air quality.
School custodians, handling toxic cleaners on a daily basis, often suffer from chemical
injuries, costing about $25 million each year in workers’ compensation and lost time.
13. “I love what we are doing – taking the little
steps necessary for a big change. I mean,
Akins might be one school but it’s in a big
district. If we go green, maybe it would
INSPIRE other schools to go green too. And
we have almost 3,000 students. If we inspire
them to go green, that’s 3,000+ people
helping the environment. We are paying it
forward!”
-Shannon, 17
“Being an environmental leader
means you make it known that
CHANGE is possible, you just
need to work to make it happen.”
-Nyssa, 17
“You set the groundwork and
motivate people to follow in your
path. An environmental LEADER
speaks up when they see a bottle
being thrown in the trash and
when change can be made.”
-Rebecca, 18
“Being an environmental leader
makes me feel powerful – like
anything is possible. I just took
part in saving the world with my
IDEAS. Sweetness!”
-Henry, 19
“I want to help inform others of the
great things they can do to help
the environment. If we all do a little
bit, then altogether, we can do
something BIG! I definitely want to
teach my kids (when I have them) to
help the environment.”
~Karla, 18
“I’d really love to make an impact
on a global scale by changing the
way people look at GLOBAL
problems. I’d like to make people
all over the world consider the
“green” way of lifestyle through
education.”
