Save Energy at School

Save Energy in Your School Building & School District

Schools provide a unique opportunity to create a new generation of energy smart citizens. Through energy education, immediate energy savings can be realized by reducing obvious sources of energy waste, such as lights left on in empty rooms and computers running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Schools with effective conservation programs have reported reductions of as much as 25% in utility bills.

The best way to save energy in your school is to make it a school-wide effort. Teachers, students, facility staff, and administrators can all play an important role. If possible, enlist the support of your school district. School districts participating in the Alliance’s Green Schools Program agree to return a portion of the savings from the no-cost behavior and operations changes back to the schools that earned them—thus providing an added incentive for those schools to save energy.
