A correlation of recent study results placesMaintenance and Operations as the prime costsaving opportunity in schools around thecountry.
Predicted savings potential range:
o 50%-60% of potential savings in existing buildingsavailable through M&O improvements
o Up to 80% of potential savings in buildings less than5 years old through M&O improvements

Is the cost of energy high enough now to
entice our administrators to divertsome of their attention
toward a solution?
If so, what is the best solution?

Deregulation of electric utilities in the State of
Texas has allowed a large majority of Texas

producing a $5M/year utility cost savings. . .
about a 10% decrease in their utility budget!
