Authority0520-13-1.01 AUTHORITY. Pursuant to the provisions of T.C.A. § 49-17-104(b), the Energy Efficient Schools Council (“Council”) may promulgate rules and regulations necessary for operation.
Authority: T.C.A. § 49-17-104(b).
0520-13-1.02 PURPOSE AND SCOPE. The Energy Efficient Schools Council may award loans to school systems for qualifying capital outlay projects.
Authority: T.C.A. § 49-17-104(a).
OverviewThe Energy Efficient Schools Initiative (EESI), was established by the Tennessee General Assembly in 2008 with $90 million and is administratively attached to the Department of Education. Through EESI’s grant and revolving loan programs over $99 million has been approved for projects to improve the energy efficiency in Tennessee’s public K-12 schools. Purposes of the Energy Efficient Schools Council, also created by this legislation, include providing grants and loans for capital outlay projects and establish and support energy management programs. The enabling legislation also created a twelve member council to approve guidelines, award grants and loans, verify energy efficiencies, and establish and support energy management programs.
The Council appointed a Technical Advisory Committee and Executive Director Paul Cross. Scott Slusher joined the EESI staff in July 2016 as the Energy Services Consultant. He was a council member representing the Department of Environment and Conservation before this move to the EESI staff. Scott has an extensive background in energy conservation and efficiency. Barbara Floyd is the background support for the program and staff and has been with the Department of Education for twelve years.

…EESI grants and loans were an awesome catalyst and springboard to help get more people on the energy conservation train. EESI funded the installation of a Building Logix system to provide real time
meter data on all Murfreesboro City Schools. The system has given us the ability to rapidly discover and troubleshoot problems…and we can do an even better job. Thanks for your continued support
and interest in Murfreesboro City Schools.”— Gary Anderson, Murfreesboro City Schools
I. Legislative: The EESI is currently working with TDOE leadership to develop a strategy to garner additional support from the Governor’s Office and the Tennessee General Assembly for the EESI Revolving Loan Program. Upon successful completion of this strategy, additional funding may be redirected to EESI for programming. We have legislators who want to celebrate the program’s success during the 2018 legislative session by recognizing the members of the General Assembly who introduced and passed the enabling legislation. We are working with them to make it happen.
II. Technical: The EESI is currently developing a state-wide public K-12 utility data management strategy, which will provide LEAs with monthly utility data and allow school boards to improve utility management, reduce utility cost, and improve the classroom learning environment. Based on anticipated recommendations from the EESI Technical Advisory Council to the EESI Council, additional funding may be reprogrammed to support the cost of implementing the utility database.
III. Programmatic: There are a lot of studies that show the behavior of students is impacted by lighting colors and intensities. The Behavioral Specialist at Greene County and Murfreesboro City Schools have observed uncooperative and agitated students calm down and complete their classwork within a few minutes of changing the color of the lighting in the room. EESI is working with a lighting vendor to develop a peer reviewed study showing the benefits of full spectrum lighting in special needs classrooms. Based on the release of this study, EESI may develop a full spectrum lighting program that could be rapidly implemented using EESI funding.
IV. Programmatic: According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Children breathe more air, eat more food and drink more liquid in proportion to their body weight than adults. In recent years, comparative risk studies performed by the EPA and its Science Advisory Board have consistently ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health. Proper maintenance of indoor air is more than a “quality” issue; it encompasses safety and stewardship of your investment in students, staff and facilities. EESI is on the leading edge using energy-efficient strategies that reduce energy and improve indoor air quality. In the upcoming period, EESI will continue working with public and private stakeholders to educate districts on IAQ and promote strategies that improve the classroom learning environment.

District Utility Summary (School Year 2015-16)
Energy management is the process of monitoring, controlling, and conserving energy in a building or organization and is the key to saving energy. For several years, EESI has worked through grant and loan programs to encourage Tennessee Public K-12 Schools to develop an energy management program and track their energy use, but a method to compare how districts are improving across the state has been elusive. Until now! Over the past year, EESI staff have worked with school directors, facility personnel, and fiscal offices to complete a District Square Footage Survey. This will provide, for the first time, the Department of Education and the EESI with a state-wide Public K-12 Schools square foot benchmark. With this new data, EESI will now be able to produce a high-level metric called The District Utility Summary.
The District Utility Summary is a quick reference tool which allows school districts to understand their utility use and compare their use data against other public school districts (141 districts) in Tennessee. The data presented is compiled from district reported expenditures for the Department of Education’s Annual Statistical Report and EESI’s annual square foot survey.

In 2009, while School Superintendent of Putnam County Schools, we started an
energy savings competition between schools, installed high-efficient lighting,
and encouraged students to monitor light switches and plug loads resulting
in utility savings over $1,000,000. EESI provided the financial mechanism that
complemented our efforts to reduce utility cost, enabling us to allocate more
money into our classroom learning environment.
