Plant Facilities Levy: What is the Facility Improvements and Energy Conservation Project? What do Facility Improvements and Energy Conservation have to do with education? What is the bottom line?
Facility Improvements and Energy Conservation Project: Energy Conservation Measures – Projects that reduce the amount of energy consumed with a cost that results in shorter paybacks. Facility Improvement Measures – Necessary infrastructure projects that may or may not reduce the amount of energy consumed but provide additional benefits to the occupants that are beyond financial benefits. Sustainability Measures – Projects that modify the way tasks are normally provided to minimize the use of fossil fuel.
Energy Conservation Measures:
Lighting Retrofits Lighting Controls Demand Control Ventilation Economizer Installation “Plug Load” Controls Set Point Modifications Variable Flow Conversions Waste Oil Furnace Installation Solid Waste Management Strategies Retro-Commissioning of Facilities Window Retrofits
Facility Improvement Measures
Geothermal/Ground Source Heat Pumps Direct Digital Controls Installation Repair Ductwork & Ductwork Insulation Heating and Ventilation System Improvements Air Conditioning Improvements/Additions Auditorium Improvements Carpet Replacements Door Replacements Improved Maintenance Access to Equipment Fire Sprinkler System Installations

Impact on Education A healthy productive learning environment comfortable thermal environment improved ventilation Improved indoor air quality = reduction in lost days for students and teachers
Financial Savings retro commissioning reduced energy use , “a bigger slice of the budget pie for other needs” incentives and grants
Hands-on Learning school as a teaching tool The project can serve as a reminder that small changes can make a big impact; bike to school, recycle, buy local.
