The Collaborative for High Performance Schools

The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) is an organization that develops standards and guidelines to design and build environmentally friendly, healthy, and efficient school facilities. Its goal is to create learning environments that promote student and staff well-being while reducing energy costs and environmental impact. Schools that meet CHPS standards incorporate sustainable materials, good indoor air quality, natural lighting, and energy-saving features. By following CHPS guidelines, schools can improve the overall learning experience, save resources, and support sustainability efforts.
