ENERGY EFFICIENCY GOALSReduce energy and water use at all campuses

Upgrade plumbing, windows, heating, and air conditioning for greater efficiency

Save general fund dollars that can be used to support classrooms

Page 13: ENCINITAS UNION  SCHOOL DISTRICT “Children First!”

GREEN INITIATIVE PROJECTS

Solar panels at 7 schoolsSolar tubes and natural lightingReclaimed water for irrigationWaterless urinalsUpgrade heating and air conditioningSystem wide usage monitoring

Page 14: ENCINITAS UNION  SCHOOL DISTRICT “Children First!”

ENERGY SAVINGSDistrict currently spends approximately $1 million on electricity and $200,000 on water use every year.

Solar panels and more efficient heating and air conditioning will cut total energy costs by at least 60%.

Reclaimed water should cut water use by 50%

Total annual savings to District = $700,000

Can be used to keep class sizes small!
