Mansfield ISD | Energy Efficient Education

E3 is the designation and initiative for the Mansfield Independent School District representing our commitment to energy efficiency in our educational process.

Through this commitment and innovative energy saving ideas, the district is working to make energy conservation a permanent part of our culture.

By the end of the school year 2007-08, energy management and conservation efforts for 42 facilities had exceeded a savings of over $3.07 million in cost avoidance.

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.
