Finding Savingswith an Energy
Conservation Program
A Best Practices Webcast forEducation Energy Professionals
Speakers• Justin Turner – Applications Engineer, SchoolDude
• Santa Fe Public Schools, NM– Lisa Randall - Energy Conservation Program
Coordinator
Agenda
• Managing Conservation and Energy Savings in Education
• Why Energy Star?• Best Practices with Lisa Randall - Santa Fe
Public Schools, NM • ConserveDirect Overview
Unmanaged vs. Managed Costs • Less Efficient Schools:
– Use 3-times more energy – Spend $60- $100 more per student per year– Have less $$$ to allocate to the classroom
• Efficient Schools:– Save 10%-15% by changing behavior or increasing awareness– Can save 5-20% by effectively managing, maintaining and
operating schools
• Savings Example:– Average utility costs = $295.13 per student– 10% savings = $29.50 per student annually– 4,000 students = $118,000 savings
• EPA voluntary climate protection partnership with energy users, serviceand product providers
• Strategic approach to energy management• Promoting energy efficient products and
practices• Helps measure, track and improve energy
performance• Helps save energy and money and protect
the environment• Brand recognized by more than 80% of
Americans
Why ENERGY STAR?
• Free, online benchmarking tool for existing buildings• Whole-building energy performance metrics based on
actual consumption data• Measures and tracks energy intensity, energy costs,
green house gas emissions, and more• Identifies top- and under-performing facilities • Easy to understand 1-to-100 score• Starting point for ENERGY STAR Certification

Successful Energy Program Savings
Best Practices with Santa Fe Public Schools
Speaker: Lisa Randall – Energy Conservation
Program Coordinator
• 12,000 Students• 2.4 million square feet of building space• 60 buildings• 1,700 district staff• Conservation Staff – 1 person with support from
the facilities and operations team
• Two Year Total Savings: $232,360
Santa Fe Public Schools, NM
Challenges• Paradigm Shift – change thinking about resource
use for students, teachers, staff, community• Unreliable utility data due to distributed data
entry• Not evaluating usage, comparing facilities,
trending or using ENERGY STAR ratings• Establish accurate, reliable use and cost
information for all buildings
Solution: ConserveDirect
• Benchmark energy use and costs for each facility
• Establish a starting point to measure progress and analyze next steps
• Compare and rank facilities (KTBU, costs)• Compare usage to regional/national standards• Track the progress of conservation and
efficiency efforts
Solution: ConserveDirect
• Verify facility performance with fact-based data
• Identify and target future project needs• Improve accountability and efficiency• Taking utility demand into consideration for
renovations and new building design
Solution: ConserveDirect
• Easily generate budget projections for finance department
• Quickly generate any report for facility or service costs
• Know the true cost of operating a facility• Share results in a format everyone can
understand – ENERGY STAR
Managing Change and Implementation
• Asking students, teachers and staff to shift their perspective on the resources they consume
• Worked through transition from team inputting bills to one person, one process
• Getting bills in a timely fashion• Support from administration• Ensuring everyone understood the change
enabled a full time focus on efficiency
Involving Others in Conservation
• Publishing ENERGY STAR scores and YTD totals for Metric Tons of CO2
• Students, staff and community have access to monthly reports (by site and district-wide)
• Monthly comparison of water, natural gas and electrical use (for the past 3 years)
• Share gallons of water per student, building ENERGY STAR score and greenhouse gas emissions
Involving Others in Conservation
• Students, teachers and the community are very interested in ENERGY STAR scores
• Compare month to month usage over years– Allows them to set goals and measure progress– Generate lessons from the data
• Gives everyone the opportunity to be part of the solution
• They can see our commitment to efficiency

Report Card - Per Building, By Utility
Newsletter
• First Year Savings = $133,503– Reduced natural gas by 13%– Reduced electrical by 8%
• Two Year Total Savings: $230,360– Reduced natural gas by 17.6%– Reduced electrical by 9.2%– Reduced water by 12.7
