1. Cabarrus County Schools Annual Energy Management Report 2015-2016

2. Current average efficiency is 44.39 KBTU/Square Foot

5. The spikes in water usage, Feb
The spikes in water usage, Feb. 2012, came from a water leak at Jay Robinson.

6. Annual Summary ( 2015-2016- Baseline Year )
Red will indicate a rate increase
This table is an attempt to compare this year’s utility usage and cost ( ) to the baseline year’s utility usage and cost of each building. Keeping in mind that the baseline year for the new schools will be different from older CCSs. The baseline year used for most buildings is The new buildings will be forced to use their first year of operation as their baseline year.
Why use as the baseline year?
This was the beginning year for CCS’s Energy Conservation Program. Thus, using this year as a baseline will provide the performance of the program over the last four years.
Cost Avoidance = $1,002,922.16
*Baseline year for most schools is
However, new schools will use their 1st year of operation
as their baseline year.

7. Annual Summary ( / )
Comparing the last school year to the previous school year
Cost Avoidance $329,009.02
Red will indicate a rate increase
Cost Avoidance for ( ) = $120,213.49

8. Annual Summary ( )
Currently we are tracking the utility data from 39 buildings. In we were tracking data from 37 buildings.
Metric Tons of CO2 kept from the atmosphere = 41,829.66

9. Accomplishments
When comparing (July-June) data to the data. CCS generated a cost avoidance of $1,006, for the district.
Our energy usage has decreased over the past six years by 61,011, KBTU. Thus, keeping 41, metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.
Average Efficiency (energy usage/sq. ft.) has dropped from KBTU/Ft2 ( ) to KBTU/Ft2 ( ).
Over the last six years, when comparing the county buildings to their baseline data, they have provided a cost avoidance of 1,006, million dollars to the district.
In the US, we account for 20% of the man made greenhouse gas emissions, with less than 5% of the world’s population.
