The House Education and Labor Committee passed
H.R. 2187, the21st
Century Green High-Performing Public School Facilities Act, which would
authorize $6.4 billion in 2010 for school construction projects that meet
certain environmental standards. The bill will soon be sent to the House floor
for debate and a vote, in which the the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) said it will continue to monitor the legislation and follow its progress.
According to Don Davis, AHRI Vice President,
Government Affairs, “The Committee believes the bill would
encourage school districts to undertake projects to reduce or
eliminate human exposure to classroom noise and environmental noise pollution
and have indicated a preference for grants that consider the ANSI
S12.60-2002 American National Standard Acoustical Performance Criteria, Design
Requirements, and Guidelines for Schools.”
