Students at Oconomowoc High School, Jack Young Middle School in Baraboo, and Royal Oaks Elementary School in Sun Prairie can call themselves “Energy Efficiency Scholars” for their efforts in the Renew our Schools Energy Conservation Competition. The three schools earned between $1,500 to $2,500 in FOCUS ON ENERGY® (Focus) incentives competing against five other schools across Wisconsin. The competition is a six-week challenge offered by Resource Central. The Wisconsin K-12 Energy Education Program (KEEP) and Focus collaborated with the schools giving students the opportunity to learn energy concepts and make behavioral changes to reduce energy consumption in their school and community.
Royal Oaks Elementary School – 18% Energy Reduction
The Bayfield County/Focus on Energy “Save to Give” program concluded early in March with checks for more than $5,500 distributed to seven county non-profits. The pilot program focuses on small changes residents can make to create energy savings. Washing with cold water, heating and cooling controls, and installation of LED bulbs are three examples. Participating residents recorded weekly energy-saving practices for two eight-week rounds in 2021.
“In the end, the goal of energy awareness was achieved through the active participation by seven area groups,” Bayfield County Administrator, Mark Abeles-Allison recently said. He also thanked both the Public Service Commission, Focus on Energy, and Focus on Energy Team Leader Brady Steigauf for their extra efforts for rolling out a pilot program during a pandemic.
Over the past two years, many schools implemented operational changes based on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) input and recommendations in response to COVID-19. Changes included increasing the presence of outdoor air through open windows when possible and using fans to circulate that air, both of which can negatively impact building energy usage.
FOCUS ON ENERGY® recently studied Wisconsin school energy usage to understand how it has changed due to the recommended operational changes in response to COVID-19. In its white paper, COVID-19 Energy Impacts to Wisconsin Schools, Focus on Energy shares how schools saw an average increase of 10% in natural gas usage (therms) and 0.4% in electric usage (kWh). This increase equates to an additional $5.62 million in estimated annual utility costs for Wisconsin schools. The white paper goes on to list a few proactive strategies schools can embrace to help offset these rising costs, such as:
