New York School District Saves $1.5 Million with Energy Education

Energy Education presented East Greenbush Central School District with its Energy Excellence Award at a May 4 Board of Education Meeting. Through the partnership with Energy Ed, the district has seen $1,466,686 in cost savings in just the last 42 months. The savings come from implementing behavioral and organizational change to substantially reduce energy consumption.

“I am extremely pleased to present East Greenbush Central School District with our Energy Excellence Award,” said William S. Spears, chairman and founder of Energy Education, according to Albany’s Times Union. “The school district joins a very committed group of organizations across the country working hard to achieve energy savings so the dollars saved can be redirected to educational needs.”

The school district has succeeded in saving energy by tracking consumption and analyzing energy use, including monitoring electricity, water, sewer, natural gas and fuel oil, all using special energy-accounting software from Energy Education. The Energy Excellence Award is a national recognition, presented only to clients that have successfully saved at least $1 million by implementing an energy management plan.
