Download or read book Guide to Financing EnergySmart Schools written by US Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By making a commitment to high-performance schools, many school districts are discovering that smart energy choices can have lasting benefits for their students, their communities, and the environment. An energy-efficient school district with 4,000 students could save as much as $160,000 a year in energy costs. Over 10 years, those savings can reach $1.6 million, translating into the ability to hire more teachers, purchase more textbooks and computers, or invest in additional high-performance facilities. Beyond these bottom-line benefits, schools also can realize better overall student health and decreased absenteeism, and can better serve as centers of community life. This guide addresses common barriers associated with new construction, major renovations, and retrofit projects in high-performance schools. It summarizes existing methods of financing and looks ahead to innovative, replicable approaches. This guide supports making a business case for high-performance design backed by economic analysis that looks at the costs and benefits of new construction and retrofits over the project's lifetime. It also describes non-energy benefits that tie energy efficiency and economic feasibility back to the critical mission--ensuring a healthy learning environment for students. Appendices include: (1) Basic Financial Concepts; and (2) High-Performance School Financing--Information Resources.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a follow-up to the release of its "Guide to Financing EnergySmart Schools", the U.S. Department of Energy's EnergySmart Schools program hosted the National Financing Roundtable on February 5, 2009. This event was held prior to the seventh Annual High Performance Schools Symposium, hosted by the Council of Educational Facility Planners International (CEFPI) on February 6-7, 2009 in Tampa, Florida. The purpose of the National Financing Roundtable was to bring together individuals with diverse knowledge of school building projects to discuss financing issues and options that build upon those described in the "Guide to Financing EnergySmart Schools." This document summarizes the discussion that took place during the roundtable. It provides an overview of the financing opportunities, challenges, and activities involved in achieving high-performance schools, as identified by the participants. The discussion has been organized into five key outcomes: (1) Identify creative funding mechanisms and low-cost or no-cost projects to help achieve energy efficiency in schools. Energy efficiency can be reached through small efforts when funding is limited as well as through large investments when funding is available; (2) Recognize that energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) are solutions that require a strong partnership with an energy service company (ESCO), a clear understanding of the cost avoidance (savings) guarantee language, and annual measurement and verification (M&V); (3) Become better-educated and more aware decision makers in relation to energy-efficiency projects by discussing all financial and technical issues with stakeholders. Learn to reorganize the current district-level budgetary system to better recognize and account for savings from energy-efficiency measures; (4) Encourage and gain community, teacher, and student involvement in and support about energy-efficiency projects. This will increase awareness about these issues, pressure legislators to provide funding, and start a culture of social responsibility; and (5) Create clear policies at federal and state levels to provide quick incentives to districts investing in energy-efficiency projects.
