You may know that we established a district goal in our strategic plan to reduce energy consumption by 10% this past school year as a result of the capital project (roofing insulation and sealing the exterior of the main campus building) and our Energy Management Plan that was approved last year by the BOE. Wayne Robinson just provided the end of year results. They are as follows:
Fuel Oil in gallons Electricity (cost)
2008-09 80,359 $107,597
2009-10 68,744 $95,851
Our goal was to save 803 gallons of fuel oil and $10,700 in electricity costs. We exceed this target by using 11,615 gallons of fuel oil less and saving $11,746 in electricity costs.
The district is very grateful to all of the administrators, teachers, Eco Group, BOE, Todd Rogers (our consultant) and support staff who embraced the Energy Management Plan and made small changes such as reducing classroom and hall lighting when appropriate. The cumulative impact resulted in savings to the district and a significantly reduced carbon footprint. We realize that this is only a one year result, but remain hopeful that with sustained effort on all of our part we can continue to maintain and improve.
Kudos to Wayne Robinson’s leadership, the Energy Management Team ( Wayne Robinson, Beth Satterlee, Leah Horn , & Tony DiMeo ) and our Eco Clubs who served as our “Green Champions”!
