School District 72 FortisBC Award

School District 72 wins FortisBC Efficiency in Action award

FortisBC recognized School District 72 Campbell River for their energy efficiency by awarding them with the 2021 Efficiency in Action award in the medium commercial category.

School District 72 is focused on energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout its 17 schools and alternate learning centre serving a total of 6,000 students. They received approximately $55,000 in rebates for high-efficiency equipment in 2020, including boiler upgrades at Willow Point Elementary and Phoenix Middle School, and a condensing makeup air unit at the Southgate Middle School wood shop. These upgrades are estimated to save 1,200 GJ of natural gas annually and support the school district’s ongoing efforts to educate students about saving energy and taking care of the environment.

“Start with the quick and easy wins to gain momentum and apply for rebates, such as those provided by FortisBC, so you can reinvest in future energy conservation projects,” says Steve Woods, Manager of Operations, Campbell River School District.

The winners of this year’s Efficiency in Action awards demonstrate how working together helps achieve big goals for sustainability, saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions—which supports FortisBC’s 30BY30 target to reduce customers’ emissions by 30 per cent by 2030.
