Benchmarking and performance monitoring often solely focus on the energy use of buildings. But for schools, performance goes beyond the energy bill to include the performance of the students and staff. How can we measure everything that makes a learning environment good for learning? Understanding the total performance of your school buildings will allow you to set goals to improve health and comfort outcomes as you make cost-saving energy efficiency improvements. This session covers strategies on whole building and energy benchmarking, including the CHPS Operations Report Card and US EPA's ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, best practices for measuring health and comfort conditions in your classrooms, and case studies of how to use environmental outcomes to drive campus improvements.
