Clean and Renewable Energy
In 2017, the school engaged in an ENERGY STAR program and focused on energy management strategies to measure energy performance and tracking savings. In partnership with the C-PACE Energy Program and Eversource, the school installed a new roof with solar panels, upgraded its HVAC to energy efficient gas boilers coupled with smart thermostats, installed LED lighting in all areas throughout the building and upgraded its commercial ovens and refrigerated service areas to energy efficient appliances. The school has been realizing a 40% annual reduction in operating costs as a result of this initiative.
