K-12 Education

At CEG, we are committed to improving energy efficiency, implementing capital upgrades, and reducing operational headaches for K-12 school districts. We understand the unique challenges that school districts face, including tight budgets, limited staff resources, and the complexity of managing multiple buildings and energy systems. Our approach is designed to address these challenges while helping school districts achieve their energy goals.

1. Prioritizing Cost-Effective ECMs: We recognize that K-12 school districts often have budget constraints when it comes to facility upgrades. To make the most of available resources, we prioritize buildings and energy systems with the most deferred maintenance. Our data-driven approach allows us to identify cost-effective ECMs that deliver significant energy savings and expand the impact of each project.

2. Securing Grant and Incentive Opportunities: To further support school districts in funding their retrofit projects, we actively search for grant and incentive opportunities. Our team assists in applying for available funding, which may include federal, state, or local incentives designed to promote energy conservation and sustainability initiatives.

3. Ongoing Support and Project Management: We understand that school districts may have limited staff resources available to manage projects. To bridge this gap, CEG provides comprehensive support throughout the entire project lifecycle. Our team manages the development and implementation of the project, ensuring that it stays on track and meets the district's goals. Regular updates are provided to the school district to keep them informed of the project's progress.

4. Conducting Detailed Audits and Customized Plans: Managing multiple buildings, sites, and energy systems can be complex for school districts. We address this challenge by conducting detailed audits of each building and energy system. This process allows us to identify areas for improvement and create a customized plan that considers occupancy patterns, maintenance schedules, and equipment age. By tailoring the upgrade plan to the specific needs of each facility, we ensure that the solutions are efficient and practical for the district.

5. Modernizing Energy Infrastructure and Standardizing Equipment: Our projects not only focus on energy efficiency but also aim to modernize energy infrastructure and standardize equipment and controls across buildings. By adopting standardized approaches, school districts can simplify maintenance and operations, leading to improved system performance and reduced long-term costs.

1. Enhancing Resilience for School Facilities: Resilience is a critical aspect of any school district's operations. We help enhance the resilience of school facilities by implementing renewable energy technologies, energy storage solutions, backup power systems, and microgrids, ensuring that schools can continue to function during emergencies or grid disruptions.

By leveraging our expertise and experience, CEG provides comprehensive and tailored solutions to K-12 school districts. Our focus on energy efficiency, maintenance reduction, resilience enhancement, and ongoing support allows districts to achieve their energy goals without high upfront costs and with minimal disruptions to school operations.
