TST BOCES provides energy management services to help school districts optimize their energy use and reduce costs. According to the EPA, one out of every four dollars spent on energy in U.S. schools is wasted, amounting to $1.5 billion annually. Energy costs (heating fuel, electricity, and water) can total 1.5% to 3.5% of a school district’s annual budget. With limited financial resources for K-12 education, ongoing cost reductions are essential. Reducing a district’s energy expenditures benefits everyone involved.

Our Services:

• Leadership and Implementation: Collaborate with administrative and facilities teams to develop and implement energy conservation efforts within the district.

• Tracking, Analysis, and Reporting: Utilize advanced tools to track energy consumption and costs, and generate detailed reports for better management.

• Recognition Programs: Assist districts in participating in programs that acknowledge successful energy conservation efforts, such as EPA Energy Star, Green Globes, and Green Ribbon Schools.

• Energy Audits: Conduct thorough evaluations of energy consumption to identify areas for improvement.

• Efficiency Upgrades: Implement energy-saving measures such as upgrading lighting, HVAC systems, and building insulation.

• Sustainability Initiatives: Promote and support renewable energy projects and sustainable practices within school districts.

• Training and Education: Provide training on energy conservation methods for faculty and staff.
