What are the benefits of becoming CHPS Designed?

• CHPS Designed is ideal for a school district or design teams first attempt at including the CHPS Criteria into a school project, when the design team is trying to include the CHPS Criteria late into a project or for school districts with limited need for an independent project review.
• Accountability of a CHPS Designed project rests on the school district and design team. CHPS Oversight and Scorecard Screen - CHPS staff will be available for non-CCI questions and will screen the CHPS Design Scorecard for completeness prior. Recognition - CHPS will recognize each participating project on its website.
• CHPS Designed helps design teams manage the points that they are claiming through a project scorecard. This scorecard is a useful tool for school districts and CHPS project managers to monitor compliance with the CHPS credits and prerequisites. The scorecard offers a checklist for points earned, and can be used to designate responsible team members and track compliance with credits.

There are two steps to becoming a CHPS Design project.

Step 1. Download the CHPS Designed Scorecard & Register Your Project.

Based on your project type, download the CHPS Designed Scorecard for either new school construction, or a modernization and new building project. The Scorecards are Excel files with three worksheets:1) scorecard directions, 2) scorecard, and 3) team member worksheet. (The original 2002 scorecard was developed by Los Angeles Unified School District under a grant from the California Energy Commission and U.S. Department of Energy Rebuild America Program.)
