Your Next GREEN School Is Already Built

Learn about tools available to assess and improve your existing schools, including the new Operations Report Card (ORC), a program that guides school staff on how to conduct yearly assessments in energy, air quality, thermal comfort, lighting and acoustics. Use it to benchmark the performance of both high- and low-performance schools, and get recommendations for improvement. You'll also discover innovative strategies for successful modernizations, as well as how to meet tough prerequisites within a small project scope.
