Five of our schools have earned an EPA Energy Star award for
excellence in energy efficiency! We track energy use in our schools
through the US EPA "Portfolio Manager" database, along with 51,000 other
US schools. Schools that lead with the highest energy efficiency scores
(which are adjusted for weather and geography) qualify for the Energy
Star award. ABRHS, Conant, Douglas, Merriam and McCarthy-Towne recently
received this honor—we'll be posting plaques near the front door of each
school. We're hoping that every school in the district will qualify for
this award—and we're getting mighty close!
Power Down Project
The
AB Power Down Project promotes energy conservation, mainly by promoting
positive changes in behavior. Students have posted artwork, flyers and
signs as Power Down reminders. See our Power Down Guidelines below or
print the poster.
