This past fall, CHPS debuted the Colorado CHPS Criteria (CO-CHPS), a new high performance assessment tool created especially for Colorado schools. CO-CHPS can help schools achieve energy efficiency and utilies savings, heightened student performance, and improved student, staff and faculty health. Join CHPS as we provide training on how to create the schools that will provide these benefits!

The training will consist of two sessions in each location, facilitated by CHPS staff and local partners. The morning session will provide an overview of the CO-CHPS program and resources. Participants will learn about CHPS' program offerings, the CO-CHPS prerequisites and credits, and hear from local school districts and practitioners on how to implement high performance schools in Colorado.

More in-depth training on CO-CHPS will be provided in the afternoon. Topics will include design strategies and guidelines for CO-CHPS, credit-by-credit analysis and tips, and a review of the CHPS Operations Report Card (ORC) program.

CHPS is a registered provider of continuing education through the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The courses will offer AIA Learning Units in Sustainable Design (a new mandatory continuing education requirement).

Space is limited in each training session, so sign up early! Representatives from school districts and schools attend these trainings for free. Registration discounts are available for CHPS members as well as for attendees who bring a school or district representative with them to the training.
