High-Performance School Buildings Resource and Strategy Guide, Second Edition, from Sustainable Buildings Industry Council, is written primarily for those who make decisions about the design and construction of K-12 schools. The 86-page Guide is useful for community leaders, parents, teachers, architects and engineers, and others advocating for school buildings that are cost-effective, sustainable, and "healthy and productive" for students, teachers, and staff.
The newly issued second edition of the guide contains new and updated sections on durability, acoustics and safety/security, new case studies, and new photographs, resources, and Web links. The price of the Guide has been reduced from $50 to $25 for school decision makers only, including school board members, superintendents, and facility managers.
