Transparency is the New Green in product selection, specification & procurement: Building Better PreK–14 Schools: CHPS, Oregon Door & Group14 Engineering

Recorded Thu, June 10, 12–1pm ET

The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) is the pioneer in healthy, green school criteria. CHPS Criteria has been used in 100s of PreK–14 building projects across the country. 200+ design teams are currently participating in CHPS verification programs. Used in many of the largest school districts, its influence stretches across the country promoting the importance of healthy, environmentally friendly materials in construction and operation.

In this webinar, we will discuss recent updates to the CHPS Criteria [1], how MFRs comply with environmental requirements, how project teams & MFRs work together to get the healthiest products into schools, and how advances in the Transparency Catalog ease of use helps bring it all together.
