Energy Manager

I. Energy Management Mission:
Recognizing our responsibility to our district, we believe that
every effort should be made to conserve energy and our natural
resources. We also believe that this commitment will be beneficial
to our students and taxpayers without sacrificing health, safety,
and security or imposing educational restrictions upon students and
instructional personnel.
The
objectives of the energy management department to the district are
as follows:
-
To perform daily facility operations in an efficient manner in
order to minimize operating expense.
-
To update equipment, facilities and lighting, where possible and
practical, to greater energy efficiency without compromising
fiscal responsibility, performance or quality.
-
To include energy efficiency as part of the criteria for new
construction and renovation.
-
To promote campus awareness through activities, programs and
education.
The fulfillment of this policy is the joint
responsibility of the trustees, administrators, teachers,
maintenance, custodial, support staff, food services, student
transportation, students and parents.
II. Energy Management Programs:
-
Watt Watchers – An energy education program that will help reduce
schools energy cost and stay with students for life. Please visit
the Watt Watchers web site at
wattwatchers.utep.edu
for complete information.
-
Building Controls – McKinney ISD air conditioning and heating
systems are controlled by an automated building control system
commonly referred to as an “Energy Management System” (EMS). The
EMS allows us to program the appropriate start and stop times of
equipment in order to prevent ineffective use of mechanical
systems.
-
Energy Audits – The energy manager periodically audits, records
and reports findings with respect to energy use on the campus. The
audits provide the principals with information to share with their
faculty and staff in order to help with energy conservation.
-
Utility Bill Review – The energy management department reviews
utility bills for proper rates, billings and meter locations.
-
Utility Consumption Recording- The energy management department
records utility bills in order to track cost and consumption.
-
Recycling – Each campus currently participates in recycling of
corrugated boxes. Additionally, recycling of paper goods will soon
take place.
-
Waste Management – Campus dumpster schedules and areas are
periodically checked for proper pick-up and tidiness.
