CHPS Series: Energy Performance
Energy-efficient schools save money while conserving non-renewable energy resources and reducing atmospheric emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases. The energy performance of schools can be improved through the use of energy efficiency (in the design, specification, and installation of lighting/daylighting, HVAC, water heating, appliances, computer equipment, and building envelope components), alternative energy sources (e.g., renewable energy), and building commissioning and staff training. The application of these devices will lead to the reduction in space and water heating, cooling, lighting, and other loads in schools and the downsizing of associated equipment. Reduced loads can lead to lower energy bills and reduced capital costs.

| Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems |
|
|
|
 |
CHPS addresses many HVAC issues through a number of credits related to energy use, commissioning, indoor air quality, acoustics and thermal comfort. This video will look at the energy impacts. |
| Natural Ventilation |
|
|
|
 |
Natural ventilation is an energy efficient and cost effective way to bring fresh air into schools, which may be able to serve as a substitute for air conditioning in a school building. |
