Collège vert certifié « excellence »
I'm translating a press release for an energy efficiency upgrade to a private high school in Québec. In the school "boilerplate" description at the end of the release, the school is referred to as "un Collège vert certifié « excellence » which I presume is an equivalent to LEED certification for buildings. I can find CEGEP websites that refer to something similar, but only in French. It seems related to information on this website: https://enjeu.qc.ca/programmes-de-certification/cegep-vert-d...
None of the websites I've visited (including the url included above) are translated into English.
My "best guess" based on one of the English-language college websites is "Excellence Level Green certification"

You may have to explain the meaning of CÉGEP or replace it with a term more familiar to a non-Quebec audience (college, junior college)
