$6.1 Million

 

The amount of savings for AASD energy conservation over the past decade.  That's an impressive number.  That's a tremendous use of our tax dollars.  

 

Over the past decade, the District has taken many steps to improve the functionality of the school buildings as well as increase energy efficiency:

•  Added electronic controls to virtually all energy use equipment.

•  Upgraded or replaced boilers, chillers (for AC), HVAC equipment, and hot water heaters. 

•  Upgraded or replaced outdated lighting, windows, and doors with more energy efficient models.  

 

Electric Use was reduced by 17.4%

Gas was redcued by 22.9%

Total savings reduced was 21.4%=$6.1 million dollars

 

And, did you know, the AASD buildings also serve our community during power outages? Generator installations help the AASD meet this need.

 

Going forward, the district has identified a number of opportunities (see below) to further improve the functionality and energy efficiency of our buildings, primarily by replacing windows that are more than 40 years old.
