Today 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 Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) has opened its Core Criteria v3.0 for a second public review period. CHPS will be accepting public comment today, March 6, through Monday, March 25, 2018. The third edition of the school-oriented green building rating system builds upon the CHPS 2014 Core Criteria guidelines (v2.0-2.2) currently in practice and incorporates recent changes in construction and building materials technology.

The 2018 Green California Schools and Community Colleges Summit is coming to the Pasadena Convention Center and CHPS will be hosting a Partners in Learning meeting Tuesday, October 30th 10am -11am in Ballroom E.
