High Performance Schools
The New Hampshire Partnership for High Performance Schools (NHPHPS) is a Jordan Institute initiative begun in 2005 to educate communities and school districts about the importance of high performance schools, the value of the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) standard for new and renovated school buildings, and the additional School Building Aid available from the NH Department of Education to schools that achieve CHPS certification. NHPHPS also uses the EPA Portfolio Manager benchmarking tool to analyze school building energy performance and help districts begin to plan efficiency improvements. NHPHPS works closely with the Granite State Energy Efficiency program at The Jordan Institute to offer seamless project development and implementation services.
High performance school projects are important examples for communities, many of which are just becoming aware of the opportunity a rising energy market presents for financing much needed energy efficiency improvements for both school and municipal buildings. Jordan can assist schools in meeting and exceeding the CHPS standards for new buildings or renovations.
