Energy Leadership Programs that Serve the Needs and Priorities of Education
Energy Leadership is a cash flow positive energy conservation program designed to fund schools and university needs from current energy expenditures with sustainability in mind. Our holistic approach examines your challenges through a tiered impact assessment, customized based on specific needs. The program engages student leaders and staff in a meaningful and collaborative way.
Energy Leadership Program Elements
STEP 1: STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING
Begins with a commitment to change from senior leadership and an Impact Assessment. We focus on what's important and work collaboratively with you to identify greatest areas for impact: operating costs, campus amenities, student engagement, student internships and community partnerships.
step 2: leadership with focus
We help you hire the right Sustainability Manager based on a talent profile and our years of experience and provide through training on energy leadership and management concepts with organizational change techniques.
step 3: student engagement
People use energy, not buildings, so the awareness and cooperation of all campus stakeholders is improvement to create an impact and a sustainable program. Your Sustainability Manager will provide personalized and appropriate communication program messages to your stakeholders. The program also supports student internships.
step 4: Measurable impact
Energy Leadership is a way to significantly address financial pressures, aging buildings, space management, and a path forward to update campus amenities and fulfill the vision of your master facilities plan.
Each Energy Leadership Program Includes:
- No Capital Outlay and Budget Neutral
- Comprehensive Impact Assessment
- Average Program Savings of 20-30 percent
- Lower Campus Carbon Footprint
- University Student Internships
- K12 School District Energy Curriculum Grants
The program is easy to enter with significant energy savings as a tangible and immediate reward. The savings achieved can be turned into extra available operating fund dollars while helping to protect our environment.
The results of the Energy Leadership program have far exceeded our original expectations and will provide much needed relief to the general fund.
