Background Energy Information

As of today, SD23 is meeting the Public Sector Energy Conservation Agreement requirements

We more than achieved 5% reduction of energy by 2011

Change is Needed

Upgrading schools to be more energy efficient only goes so far.

Capital spending cannot reasonably attain the reductions needed.

Maintain Status Quo Through 2016 SD23 Fails to meet BC Government PSECA

requirements to reduce energy use by 14% by 2016

Only hits 11%

Challenges

Increases in BC Hydro rates will require an additional $420,000 to be redirected from education services. (Potentially this will continue to climb)

As a centralized budget, there is currently no direct incentive for schools to save energy.

Opportunities

With little effort, we can save 10% of energy usage;

With more effort, we can save 20% or more.

What’s in it for us?

Good Feelings

Conserving our natural resources

Using less fossil fuels

Creating less pollution

Protecting our environment

AND…

Hard, Cold, CASH!!

ICE CREAM!!

Green Star ProgramFor schools that have staff & students who:

Desire to help SD23 hit the agreed to PSECA energy reduction requirements.

Wish to see thousands of dollars redirected to non-energy school needs such as books or equipment

Hate to see SD23 branded as failures

Love ice cream!

Do a LITTLE:

Shut off lights, equipment and systems when not needed, close doors and windows when not needing them to be open and expect a 10% savings to spend as the school sees fit

WORK HARD at Energy Conservation:

Invite Energy and Sustainability Manager Harold Schock into our school for assistance

Get students and teachers to be diligent at observing energy being wasted

Use half the lights available during lunch breaks

Create our own cool ideas

Use the projected 20% energy dollar savings to reward students in an educationally responsible manner (and buy ice cream)

How Much are we really talking about??
