MISD achieves "Energy Star Leader" status
MISD has achieved a 10% improvement in Adjusted Energy Consumption for the eligible facilities in our district. This achievement demonstrates our commitment to environmental protection through superior energy performance.

What is MISD doing?

We have established District-Wide Utility Management Standards

To establish a framework of procedures which will serve to help MISD to minimize the cost of energy by insuring energy efficient operations throughout the district

Energy-efficient operation means operating an energy consuming device so that it uses only as much energy as necessary to fulfill its intended function. The primary objective of an effective Utility Management plan is to eliminate or minimize energy waste and control cost while maintaining a comfortable and safe environment.
