Savings Expectations  Energy Education, Inc. projects a savings of 1.1 million dollars in our first year of the program.  They project a savings of between 13 to 15 million over the next ten years!

Energy Education  LCPS has engaged in a five-year partnership with Energy Education, Inc.  EEI has over 1,000 other clients, including public schools, major universities, and mega-churches.  EEI has helped its clients save over 2 billion dollars in energy bills.  EEI has been an Energy Star Partner of the Year for the past two years.

Program Objectives  Emphasis on changing people’s habits rather than purchasing new equipment.  Maintaining comfort; however, ensuring everything is off when not being used.  Optimizing the efficiency of our energy systems. (Getting the most for our money!)
