About ENERGY STAR
The ENERGY STAR® program has been a tremendous success since its establishment by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1992. The ENERGY STAR program has provided the tools and knowledge for superior energy management within organizations. Using energy more efficiently avoids emissions from power plants, avoids the need for additional power plants, and reduces energy bills. To be eligible buildings must be in the top 25% of similar existing buildings and comply with HVAC and Indoor Air Quality standards adopted by the EPA
Rebate Check
Also at the September Board meeting, Jeff Brogden presented a ceremonial $188,653.45 check from Oncor for the total amount of rebates the Mansfield ISD has received over the last two of years. The money comes from MISD completing energy efficient retro-fits on schools. The District receives $150 per KW of removed load. Most of our rebates came from lighting retro-fits in the gyms. |
