Overview of the Program
Energy Essentials offers school districts assistance in beginning the journey toward effective energy management. This program helps your district get started with an energy plan.
The Energy Essentials design assists districts in developing a program that creates energy awareness and strategies that result in saving precious dollars for the district. This is a comprehensive, systemic approach to energy savings.
Energy Essentials does more than conduct a technical energy assessment; it also brings together every area of your school district (administrators, school board members, students, and teachers) to develop and implement a plan. MSBO provides the support needed to make your energy management program successful.
Energy Essentials offers customized consulting services for a very reasonable cost to districts interested in assistance in the initial phases of implementation.
The basic steps used in the Energy Essentials Program are:
- Energy process audit
- Discovery of the people, processes, and technology curently in place
- Implementation of comprehensive benchmarking tools
- Development of common goals and objectives
- Formation of a task force for energy program management
- Development of an energy curriculum
- Implementation of a district-wide best practices
- Training for successful outcomes
- Publicity and community awareness planning
