Energy Conservation Checklists & Tools

Energy Conservation is one of the seven Environmental Pathways you can choose towards gaining recognition as a Green Star School. These efforts may also help you qualify for recognition as a state or federal Green Ribbon School.

Energy Checklist - This checklist includes action project ideas for students, staff, teachers, and facility and operations managers, as well as links to online calculator tools, 25 lesson plans from NEED, Alliance for Climate Education, Facing the Future, US Dept of Energy, EPA and several others.
