Crossville Inc. recently announced that all Crossville produced tile, porcelain tile panels and porcelain slab products have received Pre-Approved status through the Collaborative for High Performance Schools. CHPS Pre-Approved products simplify the process of identifying, specifying, and documenting building products that meet rigorous health and environmental standards.
Founded in 1999, CHPS began as a collaboration of California’s major utilities to address energy efficiency in schools. Soon after, CHPS quickly expanded to address all aspects of school design, construction, and operation. CHPS Pre-Approved products meet one or more of the following criteria: low emitting materials, recycled content, Environmental Product Declaration, and/or Material Health Disclosures (Declare Label and equivalent disclosures).
“With Pre-Approved status, Crossville products can be specified for new school designs and immediately meet the Collaborative for High Performance Schools requirements,” explains Noah Chitty, Crossville’s director of Technical Services. “Through our industry-leading efforts in sustainability and transparency, Crossville products align with the mission of the CHPS to positively impact designs in K-12 educational facilities throughout the country.”
