Recent improvements in energy efficiency represent significant opportunity for schools of all sizes.
According to the EPA, Energy costs are second only to personnel costs as the leading draw on K-12 school district operating budgets, totaling approximately $8 billion annually nationwide. An estimated $2 billion of that total can be saved by improving energy efficiency in K-12 schools, an amount equivalent to the cost of nearly 40 million new textbooks. Colleges and universities in the U.S. spend an average of $1.10 per square foot on electricity and 18 cents per square foot on natural gas annually, with typical higher-education buildings sided around 50,000 square feet consuming more than $100,000-worth of energy every year.
