Energy Costs Blowing Your Fuse?

Tuesday August 22, 2006
Energy Efficiency Study of Connecticut Schools is a report from Eastern Connecticut State University which examines energy costs in Connecticut public schools. Most public and private schools were built decades ago when energy efficiency standards were much less stringent than current ones. The report's bottom line is that Connecticut's schools are some of the least energy efficient in the nation.

What about your school? Are your energy costs skyrocketing with no end in sight? Don't know where to start? Then read the report. Benchmark your school and begin to gain control over those scary energy costs before they decimate your resources. Identify schools in your area which are Energy Star Labelled. Visit them and find out what they did to reduce energy costs. 10 Ways To Cut Energy Costs offers some practical suggestions schools of any size and age can implement.
