Canutillo Independent School District believes that a
properly managed energy conservation management program allows utility
costs to be lowered, thus re-directing funds to improving student
achievement.
A strong commitment by the Board of
Trustees, District administration and all school faculty and staff is
the foundation of an effective energy conservation management program.
The
Executive Director for the Facilities and Transportation Division is
charged with the oversight of the District's Energy Management Program.
Because of funding through the District's 2011 Bond Issue, recent
technology enhancements have given the department the ability to shut
down Hearing, Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems District-wide, in
addition to conducting remote electrical energy usage audits.
The
District conducts several District-wide shut-downs throughout the year
to maximize energy savings. These include: Fall Break, Winter Break,
Spring Break and summer 4 day/10 hour work weeks.
Utility Consumption Reports will be uploaded monthly on the District's website.
