Mission Statement:
Create a healthy and comfortable learning environment while controlling energy consumption more efficiently and diverting the otherwise rising utility costs towards educational programs. Continue development of energy conservation efforts that proportionally reduce energy consumption in new and existing facilities. Educate every student and employee to contribute to energy efficiency in our System. Every person will be expected to be an “energy saver” as well as an “energy consumer”
