The physical environment in which students learn is vitally important to their long-term health and academic performance. High Performance Schools are energy efficient, easy to maintain and operate, environmentally friendly, and provide superior indoor environmental quality, leading to reduced operating costs and an overall improved occupant experience. One pathway to attain these benefits is through the use of the Northeast Collaborative for High Performance Schools (NE-CHPS) Design Criteria. NE-CHPS can be used for new construction, major renovation projects or in a phased approach to put schools on the pathway to high performance.
