According to High-Performance School Buildings Resource & Strategy Guide , high-performance buildings “provide high levels of acoustic, thermal and visual comfort, large amounts of daylight, superior indoor-air quality and safe and secure environment.”
The publication provides information on a number of sustainability topics including energy conservation, high-performance mechanical and lighting systems and efficient plumbing systems.
SBIC is also offering high-performance school workshops based on the guide.
