2. Rising utility costs
3. Limited budgets
4. Increased demand for
technology in the classroom
Challenges & Solutions
To address these challenges, partners are employing
creative approaches in a number of key areas:
1. On-site renewable energy generation
2. Continuous building commissioning
3. Occupant engagement
4. Workforce training and retention
5. Innovative financing
6. Reinvestment of energy savings to support
educational needs and additional energy
conservation measures
7. 1. An Energy Management System (EMS) will enable us to track and manage energy use to control
costs, reduce carbon footprint, and mitigate risk.
2. For example, the “Archibus Energy Management” software provides the means to easily
aggregate, evaluate, and optimize energy and utility spending decisions to reduce unnecessary
consumption and costs.
3. This SaaS can help our department correlate and manage extensive cost and consumption data
with real-time facility and infrastructure portfolio information to track energy expenditures against
our strategic plan or objective benchmarks.
