Today's Energy Thought

Although it may not seem like it if you look at the calendar or the wacky spring weather we've been having this year, summer is just around the corner. While most students and staff are out of the schools during the warmest months of the year, the buildings are still open for a number of summer classes. Principals, building operators and summer school teachers need to work together to maximize our energy savings while trying to beat the heat.

Today's energy thought is: Cluster summer school classes to save energy. Be flexible and mobile within the building so only one pod or hallway of classrooms is air conditioned for classes. Zone cooling is a great way to conserve energy while most of the building is unoccupied during the summer months. Keep summer school classrooms clustered together and you are avoiding unnecessary cooling costs.

Thanks for working together everyone, together WE have the power to make a difference.
