The U.S. Green Building Council's Center for Green Schools The Center for Green Schools, in partnership with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), has published a series of School IAQ Fact Sheets. These concise, easy-to-understand resources are designed for school staff and decision-makers without a technical background, helping them make informed choices about IAQ. The series includes an overview, which gives a foundation on school IAQ strategies and standards, as well as eight fact sheets covering specific topics including ventilation, HVAC filtration, germicidal ultraviolet systems, IAQ monitoring, and more. The Center for Green Schools is also hosting a webinar on developing IAQ management plans and two in-person workshops on energy efficient IAQ planning. Register for the September 9 webinar to hear from school district facility leaders and state governments discussing the development and implementation of robust IAQ management plans. School staff can sign up for the free in-person workshops in Boston, MA on October 14 and Los Angeles, CA on November 6. There are also a limited number of travel reimbursements available to staff that live more than 2 hours away from the locations. Learn more about the workshops and register today. The American Lung Association The American Lung Association is encouraging schools to sign up for their Clean Air School Challenge. By signing up, schools are indicating their willingness to assess their building's IAQ and develop an Energy Efficient Indoor Air Quality Management Plan. Schools can learn more about how they can benefit from this program and sign up to participate on the Clean Air School Challenge website. The American Lung Association also recently published a Case Study in Assessing IAQ in a Small School District.
