School saves thousands on energy costs


Major changes have been made in the Watervliet City School district. According to the school’s website they have become more green as well as having been saving in heating and energy costs. Due to a partnership with Energy Education Inc and BOCES Energy Consortium an energy management and conservation program was implemented in the spring of 2010. Since the start of the program Watervliet City School has recorded over $15,000 savings on energy costs.

The Superintendent of Schools Dr. Paul Padalino stated that he was particularly pleased with the results of the partnership with Energy Education Inc. because the program has only been partially implemented. Current renovations and construction at the WJHS will further progress and ultimately lead to highly increased saving upon its finish.
