The Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council is here to help. The Center for Green Schools provides free locally relevant education and peer-to-peer connections to K-12 school district staff on IAQ management that also prioritizes energy efficiency. This support includes local in-person workshops, virtual trainings, and on-demand resources. Targeted resources include:

• School District Energy Efficient Indoor Air Quality Management Plan Toolkit: Created by the Center for Green Schools at USGBC, in partnership with American Lung Association, Go Green Initiative, and the University of Utah. The Toolkit guides K-12 school districts through each component of IAQ management, while also prioritizing energy efficiency. The Toolkit includes example IAQ Management Plan language, case studies, and an easily editable IAQ Management Plan Template that school districts can customize to their needs.

• School IAQ Fact Sheets: The IAQ Fact Sheet Series is designed to help people without a technical background understand details about indoor air quality (IAQ) so that they can make important decisions for their schools.

• Clean Air in Schools Course: A free, on-demand introductory training on IAQ best practices, co-developed with the Efficient and Healthy Schools Program and the EPA.

This work supports the national Creating Healthy and Efficient School Environments: Indoor Air Quality and Energy Management Initiative, of which the Center for Green Schools is a lead partner, along with the American Lung Association and the Go Green Initiative.
