• 5 YEAR CAPITAL PLAN
• AVI
• UPCOMING BCS

This year: Back to Basics again!CR155.1 - Educational facilities
(1971)• Facilities shall be designed and
constructed to provide for the health and safety of occupants, with consideration of educational and planning efficiency, conservation of natural resources, practicality, and initial and long-range economy, and shall support an environment within the facility which is conducive to learning.

NY-CHPS
New York’s
high performance school design process

CHPS BEST PRACTICES MANUAL – M & O, 2004
• Introduction:
“A high performance school starts with an energy and resource efficient design, but without effective maintenance and operations (M&O) many of the benefits can be lost or eroded over time.”
![Page 12: Critical Importance of Well-Maintained Facilities - Thurnau](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b71d95906b595798b45db/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CHPS BEST PRACTICES MANUAL – M & O, 2004
• Introduction:
• Human Health and IAQ, • Thermal comfort• Visual comfort• Acoustic comfort
![Page 13: Critical Importance of Well-Maintained Facilities - Thurnau](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b71d95906b595798b45db/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CHPS BEST PRACTICES MANUAL – M & O, 2004
• Introduction continued:
• Safety and security• Ecosystem protection• Energy efficiency including day lighting,
electrical lighting, building enclosure, and HVAC systems
• Water conservation• Materials efficiency
![Page 14: Critical Importance of Well-Maintained Facilities - Thurnau](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b71d95906b595798b45db/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Health and IAQ
• Per US EPA- Concentration of pollutants can be 2-5 times higher in indoor air.
• Unique susceptibility of Children• Failure to maintain high IAQ can lead to:
negative student performance, negative teacher performance, higher potential for long and short term health issues, higher absenteeism, accelerated facility deterioration, reduced plant efficiency, negative publicity, and greater liability.
![Page 15: Critical Importance of Well-Maintained Facilities - Thurnau](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b71d95906b595798b45db/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How to efficiently combat those complex problems?
• Nothing exists in isolation. Look at the global problem in terms of a global solution.
• Try self diagnostic tools for schools• Provide the appropriate air changes per code for
the use of the space• Select materials/maintenance products with low
VOC’s or Toxins.• Staff training for new products (or even old
products!)• Replace filters on appropriate schedule
![Page 16: Critical Importance of Well-Maintained Facilities - Thurnau](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b71d95906b595798b45db/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How to efficiently combat those complex problems?
• Work with teachers and purchasing: art supplies, cleaning supplies, chemistry biology supplies, wood shops and wood finishing, welding shops, etc.
• Check temperatures, CO, CO2 levels, humidity, mold, etc as necessary
• Re-balance the entire HVAC every 5 years? Look into doing as part of the BCS?

Further evidence of the benefit of High Performance - Green Schools
Green Schools as High Performance Learning Facilities, Douglas E. Gordon, Hon. AIA dated September 2010.
• Compiled studies from Illinois; Washington, D.C.; Washington staOregon; Pennsylvania and North Carolina and found that:
• Student attendance rose by 5 percent after cost effective indoor air quality improvements,
• Better school facilities can add 3 to 4 percentage points to a school’s standardized test scores, even after controlling for demographics,
![Page 23: Critical Importance of Well-Maintained Facilities - Thurnau](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b71d95906b595798b45db/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Green Schools as High Performance Learning Facilities
• Green schools effected a 15 percent reduction in absenteeism and 5 percent increase in student test scores,
• Students moving into a new green school experienced a 15 percent reduction in absenteeism from their previous school.
![Page 24: Critical Importance of Well-Maintained Facilities - Thurnau](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b71d95906b595798b45db/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Green Schools as High Performance Learning Facilities
• Students moving from a conventional school to a new LEED™ Gold building experienced substantial improvements in health and a 19 percent increase in average student oral reading fluency scores, and
• Student test scores before and after students movedinto the country’s first LEED Gold K-12 school provided compelling evidence that learning and test scores improve in greener, healthier buildings. (Kats,2006)

Direction of Facilities Planning
• Review the Regents State aid proposal• Review the Governor’s proposed budget• Review Commissioner’s regulation 155.23
**** Multi- year cost allowance****• Minimum useful life questions
Examples: Roofs, heating systems, turf
![Page 26: Critical Importance of Well-Maintained Facilities - Thurnau](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b71d95906b595798b45db/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Direction of Facilities Planning
• Minimum time between MCA’s? 5 years to correspond with the BCS data
• Review of State Aid impacts and local tax impacts? E.g.: are you asking to build new space while at the same time laying off teachers and maintenance?
![Page 27: Critical Importance of Well-Maintained Facilities - Thurnau](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b71d95906b595798b45db/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Direction of Facilities Planning
• Does it make common sense?If the only reason for doing a project is that someone else is paying the bulk of the cost, then keep looking for someone else!
• Does it make fiscal sense for all concerned? Eg: Biomass boiler systems that require significant construction to house the equipment……..

Regents Mandate Relief
• Proposal to eliminate the AVI• Eliminate compliance with “Smart Growth”• Eliminate the school facilities report card• Eliminate state reporting requirements for
AHERA• Avoid HUD, go with EPA for Lead
