Introduction

Why Conservation Matters
• Energy Costs loom large in school districts
budgets and represent 2nd biggest operational
expense after personnel
• Ensuring that lighting, indoor air quality and
other needs are well provided is essential
• Opportunities to save energy free up potential
funding for educational resources that would
otherwise be lost on utility bills

Pathways to Energy Savings in Schools

1. Raising Awareness among faculty, staff and students
• Focuses on shifting behavior among all building
occupants
2. Managing school building operations
• Focus shifts awareness to facilities and custodial staff
who manage building operations
3. Upgrading mechanical equipment and controls
• Requires investment in upgrading the efficiency of
equipment and controls – Prop 39

Behavior-Based Strategies

1. Offer a rewarding pathway for energy conservation in
K-12 schools
• Strategies are both accessible and relatively
inexpensive for schools to implement
• For example, ensuring that lights get turned off in
unoccupied classrooms and offices
2. Foster a culture of empowerment to make a difference
• Custodial staff can offer critical insights about ways to
lower a building’s energy footprint
• Results in long-term management of building
operations


Mechanical & Lighting Upgrade Strategies

1. Offer another important avenue for improving energy
efficiency in school building
• However, mechanical upgrades require substantial
capital investments that poses a steeper challenge
• For example, HVAC modernization projects
• Prop 39
2. Provide an opportunity to make an immediate difference
• Lighting accounts for roughly 25% of total use
• Reducing from 32W T8 lamp to 12W LED
• Realized savings could potentially fund additional
mechanical projects

Benefits of LED Lighting

1. More than 50% reduction in operational costs
• Impact mechanical cooling costs as well
• Reduction in heat
2. Provide a superior learning environment
• Lighting has been proven to affect behavior
• Control classroom environment through
tunable white lights
3. Reduction in custodial operational expenses
• Longevity of LEDs vs T8
