Provides standards for indoor air quality, energy efficiency, materials, and waste management.

The Collaborative for High Performance School (CHPS) released the 2016 CHPS PreFABTM Criteria and Program.

The program provides a streamlined process for pre-approving prefabricated modular classroom models that meet CHPS’s Criteria rating system for healthy, high performance schools. CHPS says that the Gen7 24×40 foot model is the first to successfully complete the new CHPS PreFAB pre-approval process.

Classrooms earning this designation meet standards related to indoor environmental quality, energy efficiency, materials, waste management and other sustainable attributes. CHPS PreFAB Pre-Approval is available for individual buildings that include: single or multiple classrooms, one or more stories, permanent construction or re-locatable, have independent HVAC systems, are pre-wired and, if applicable, are pre-plumbed.

The CHPS PreFAB program was revised by a subcommittee of the CHPS National Technical Committee. The subcommittee was composed of representatives from manufacturers, schools, and other stakeholders.
