Making the Case to your BOE Why should a school district consider an Energy Performance Contract?  Fiscally responsible  Budget Control – hedge against unpredictable future energy cost volatility  Address aging infrastructure and deferred maintenance items  Tackles priority needs identified in Building Condition Surveys  Preservation of community assets  Improves student learning/teaching environment How does EPC impact the budget?  Typically reduces district energy 20-30%  Attracts Utility & NYSERDA incentive revenues  Can create building aid revenue stream  Budget neutral (or better)  Uses future energy savings to address needs today 4
