Energy savings program opportunity

 

Michigan schools may be eligible for a FREE energy program funded by the State of Michigan! Energy Works Michigan, a non-profit organization, is administering this exciting program funded by the State of Michigan.

The program is designed to save Michigan’s K-12 schools energy and money, enhance educational opportunities for students, and create green collar jobs modernizing our schools.

What Schools Get
• Investment-Grade Energy Audit - a $10,000 value
• Energy Action Plan
• Additional $5,000 Matching Grant Opportunity
• Teacher Professional Development
• Laboratory Kits
• Energy Savings!!!

Program Details: Once accepted to the Energy Efficiency Program, schools will receive an investment-grade energy audit conducted by a licensed Michigan engineer - a $10,000 value. The professional engineering and architectural firms partnered with Energy Works offer independent third-party advice to schools about their buildings. They do not sell equipment or have a contracting business. More than a simple walk-thru audit, these audits provide a detailed engineering analysis of your school that will identify specific cost-effective improvements that could save your school thousands of dollars each year!

With the audit report completed, the Energy Works Team will assist in making an Energy Action Plan for your school that identifies your priorities and develops a time line for achieving savings. Once the Energy Action Plan is complete, a $5,000 cash matching grant is available towards the first $10,000 in energy efficiency improvements!

In addition, participating schools will receive a new energy-focused Curriculum Support Guide and teacher Professional Development. These new lesson plans will cover energy basics, energy efficiency, and renewable energy in a hands-on, inquiry based format. Enhancing the new lessons, participating schools will receive a free Laboratory Kit including interactive equipment for the students, such as: a light meter, a watt meter, a solar panel kit, and a wind turbine model.
