Welcome to Building Performance Matters (BPM)!

BPM is a high school science unit designed to increase student awareness of
the comfort and energy savings benefits of energy-efficient building technologies.

Building Performance Matters is a nine-lesson unit consisting of two primary sections:
(1) background information and concepts and (2) a school lighting audit. All of the activities are inquiry-based and have been aligned to the National Science Standards. Also included are pretests and posttests, teacher preparation materials, and student worksheets.

(Note: As part of this project, energy-related web sites were created by students, for students. They can be found at www.energywhiz.com/9-12/gallery/index.htm.)
