3:15 pm-4:15 pm The Water/Energy Nexus for School Sites This School Energy Coalition (SEC) and Coalition for Adequate School Housing (C.A.S.H.) session will provide an update on the two highest priority environmental concerns for school facilities in California: Energy and Water. The Proposition 39 program and new state water mandates along with regulations per the Governor’s Executive Order B-26-15 present challenges and opportunities for schools seeking to comply with new requirements while meeting safety, team sports, and physical education concerns. Project funding and utility savings for schools await if done correctly. Join us and find out what you need to know to access funding, manage resources and invest wisely from ex- perts in the field, schools that are moving forward with these projects and agency representatives.

11:15 am-12:15 pm PreFAB: From prototype to production to two-story
High performance, prefabricated school construction has evolved and made major strides over the past decade. Prefabricated classrooms and school buildings have emerged as a viable alternative construction delivery method. Numerous production models are readily available over a continuum of prefabrication methods and various construction materials. Several multi-story, specialty space, and high performance options have been introduced. This facilitated listening session will kick off the update of the CHPS Best Practices Manual for prefabri- cated, modular and relocatable classrooms for manufacturers, school districts, and all prefabricated classroom stakeholders.
This update is comprised of three parts:
1. Update the Prefabricated Classroom volume (VI) of the CHPS Best Practices Manual (BPM)
2. Revise the High Performance Prefabricated Classroom specification to be consistent with the current CHPS Core and Regional Criteria 3. Modify the CHPS Criteria for Prefabricated Classrooms and the CHPS PreFAB pre-approval program for consistency.
Presenters: Bill Orr, Executive Director, Collaborative for HIgh Performance Schools Stephany Mason, Program Manager, Technical Services, Collaborative for High Performance Schools
1:30 pm-2:30 pm Taking Stock: California’s K-12 Facilities and the High Performance Standard in 2015 To achieve the benefits of high performance schools districts face new and evolving sets of challenges. This workshop takes stock of where we are as a state almost two decades into the green schools revolution. Focus on challenges (opportunities!) facing districts from “now you see it, now you don’t” funding to evolving green codes, standards raising the bar for every project. We’ll consider the “existing building challenge,” issues of limited scope modernizations that constrain progress towards high performance schools. Look statewide at how districts get beyond the “low hanging fruit” of retrofits, leverag- ing efficiency dollars to go deeper. Judge how the solar revolution is playing out for districts, where it’s going in a changing regulatory, funding environment. Finally, how we can continue to refine the case for investments in high performance schools, ZNE schools, and the organizational change that will place schools as leaders in California’s path towards sustainability.

Project Green: Student-Led Capital Improvement Projects
Project Green is a Sacramento City Unified School District program that allows students to work with district and local professionals to identify capital improvement projects that will reduce water usage and energy consumption and improve the learning environment at their school. The program is designed to be student-led by involving green teams or students groups in every step of the project. Students begin by conducting a sustainability audit on their school to determine areas for improvement. They then work with industry experts, local non-profits and District staff to formulate an improvement project to
