Energy Star for Schools from EPA:  for K-12 Schools

For School officials:

You probably know that the annual energy bill to run America’s primary and secondary schools is a staggering $6 billion — more than is spent on textbooks and computers combined.

What you may not know is that:

  • The least efficient schools use three times more energy than the best energy performers; and
  • Top performing ENERGY STAR labeled schools cost forty cents per square foot less to operate than the average performers.

The site contains information about What You Can Do, What Others Are Doing and Energy Star Success Stories. This site provides guidleines that can be used for energy efficiency.
