🌟 We're Leading the Way in Energy Efficiency at BCPS! 🌟 To tackle rising utility costs and aging equipment, we teamed up with Trane Technologies through Energy Savings Performance Contracts in 2008 and 2018. Thanks to these efforts, we've been able to make huge strides—upgrading lighting, HVAC systems, and automating our buildings to run more efficiently. Not only have we saved over $10.9 million in utility costs, but we’ve also created healthier, more sustainable spaces for our students and staff. Being recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy as a Better Buildings Challenge Goal Achiever is a milestone, and we’re committed to setting an example in sustainability for Kentucky’s schools. 🌍💡 Read the full press release here ➡️ https://www.bullitt.k12.ky.us/news #BCPSSustainability #MovingForward
