The district is utilizing a "Local Government Energy Audit" LGEA to identify and replace equipment with energy-efficient equipment.

The latest LGEA kicked off in Spring 2025. At this time, the collection of data and walk-thru of HVAC equipment is ongoing. This will also be "The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers " ASHRAE Level 2 Energy Audit. From this audit, a recommended Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) will be chosen to improve energy efficiency in all the school buildings.
