EnerWatch Systems Offers Energy And Cost Saving Tips To Schools
Energy conservation today is an important element to any school district’s budget. As the cost of energy increases, so the does operating cost of schools. In today’s world, these factors can wreak havoc on the bottom line of a budget. School district facility managers often have the inflexible task of keeping the maintenance budget down and also conserving energy. This is especially important during “occupational mode.” Many will implement people-driven systems that rely on the users of the facility to maintain good energy conservation practices. But often, even though efforts are put forth, the measure falls short of its goal. Companies such as EnerWatch Systems™ work directly with a school district and the individual school’s facility manager to implement technology driven systems that measure, record and analyze all aspects of energy usage, and concurrently execute energy conservation programs that educate the faculty and student body to assist in controlling their energy costs throughout the school year. The EnerWatch Monitoring System™ uses proven technology along with proven methods to lower the utilities immediately. This works in two ways: the first is an “energy watchdog” and the second as a preventive safeguard. The EnerWatch Monitoring System™ detects, amongst other environmental conditions, problematic issues such as possible mold growth, overheated server rooms or water pipes ready to burst due to foul weather conditions, which in turn, would cause school to be closed or cancelled until the occurrence has been restored. In such events, not only does the student body and faculty become affected but also a portion of the budget now will be used for clean up rather than student activities.
According to EnerWatch Systems™, a few immediate tips schools should consider include:
- Turn out the lights
- Stop dripping faucets and fixtures
- Close the doors
- Change the temperature settings in less used rooms
- Get students involved
- Reuse and recycle
