HEALTHY FACILITIES | SPECIAL SECTION
Hawaii Preparatory Academy (HPA) received the Healthy Facilities Advocate recognition for its mission to promote healthful, place-based learning on a site with access to 80 percent of the world’s ecosystems:
• HPA monitors the indoor environment using devices that detect carbon dioxide, temperature and sound levels.
• HPA makes standing desks and anti-fatigue mats available to teachers.
• HPA uses dry steam vapor for cleaning and disinfecting, and a hydrogen peroxide- based cleaner, having reduced annual spending on chemical cleaners by nearly $4,000.
• HPA uses a low-toxicity plant-based intervention to control insects.
• The HPA Energy Lab achieved Living Building Challenge Certification by the International Living Building Institute (ILBI), and was also awarded Platinum-level LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Schools 2.0 certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
