3 In many school districts, energy costs are second only to salaries, exceeding the cost of supplies and books. Nationally, K-12 schools spend more than $6 billion a year on energy and significant money can be saved through smarter energy management. High performance schools can lower a district s operating costs by up to 30 percent. (U.S. Department of Energy, California Energy Commission)
