Boise, Idaho − The Healthy Facilities Institute (HFI) and its Indoor Wellness Council (IWC) are pleased to announce Kaivac as the sponsor of the Healthy and Safe Facility Handbook – School and College Edition, thekey guidance document for the 2017-2018 Healthy School Recognition Program being promoted by School Planning & Management / College Planning & Management magazines, and HFI.

The handbook provides 360-degree information to help school facilities adopt healthier practices and be recognized, and is available as a free download at partner websites:

“Since ‘clean’ is a metaphor for goals in facility wellness – i.e., clean environments, clean living, and a clean bill of health – it is fitting that a cleaning leader such as Kaivac has stepped up to support this effort,” said Allen Rathey, Director of the Indoor Wellness Council.

The program – developed by School Planning & Management (SP&M) and College Planning & Management (CP&M) magazines, in partnership with the Healthy Facilities Institute (HFI) and the Indoor Wellness Council (IWC) – will recognize leaders selected from pK-12, higher-education and other institutions that have demonstrated a commitment to better learning environments based on the application of well-established principles of healthy indoor environments as shown in the Healthy and Safe Facility Handbook.
