commentGreenguard Meets CHPS Standards
The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) has recognized the Greenguard Children and Schools product certification program from the Greenguard Environmental Institute (GEI) as a means of improving indoor air quality in school buildings.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
GEI’s product certification program complies with California’s Department of Health Services Standard Practice for testing chemical emissions from products and therefore meets the requirements set out in the CHPS best practices manuals. The Greenguard Children and Schools program, started in 2005, tests products against emissions criteria that were created with the needs of children in mind.
