School Administrators and Boards

School administrators and school boards search continually for ways to contain operating expenses.  Energy costs – typically a school's second-largest operating expense after personnel – are a particularly promising savings target.  By reducing energy expenditures, schools can save money while enhancing their educational mission.  

Energy-efficient schools can also provide healthier learning environments.  High-performance schools are designed to improve lighting, comfort, and indoor air quality while conserving resources.

The average U.S. public school building is in service for more than 40 years. Now is the time for new thinking about energy-efficient, high-performance school buildings.  With the right planning, building a high-performance school facility costs no more than a conventional school.  The district begins to benefit from monthly energy savings almost immediately – and those savings grow over time as energy costs rise.
