CHPS New Standards Create Healthy, Climate-resilient Schools - a podcast by Jill Buck

The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) released its highly-anticipated K-12 school-focused CHPS 2019 Core Criteria 3.0. The third edition builds upon the CHPS 2014 Core Criteria. It incorporates recent developments in construction and building materials technology and adds additional credits addressing lowering school buildings’ carbon footprint through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and promoting resiliency to climate change. The national CHPS Core Criteria, and its state and regional versions, are the first green building rating programs developed especially for school learning environments. Since CHPS’ founding in 1999, these guidelines continue to be the only school-specific rating system that prioritizes student performance in its monitoring and benchmarking tools. Our guests today are Elisabeth Krautscheid, CHPS Managing Director, and Lisa Dunnebacke, CHPS Communications & Membership Director.
