Jordan School District
The
Jordan School District is the largest of Utah's 40 school districts. The
district spends $8 million annually purchasing energy. Since 1995, the district
has made a conscious effort to incorporate energy efficiency measures into
thirteen new facilities as well as to retrofit existing buildings. Half of all
Jordan schools have installed T-8 lamps, replaced the heating, ventilation and
air conditioning (HVAC) systems, or retrofit walls and modular classrooms. The
school district saved over $100,000 due to these energy efficiency improvements
as of 2000.
The U.S. EPA recently gave its Energy Star® designation to two of the
District's schools, noting that they are in the top 25% on energy performance
compared to other schools nationwide. |
