The new Cleveland High School science wing.CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Three years after starting an energy savings program, Cleveland City Schools has crossed the $1 million mark in cost savings, energy director Paul Ramsey said.
The city system was recognized this week for taking part in TVA’s Green Schools Project.
“I often get asked, ‘Are we really saving money?'” Ramsey told the school board.
He brought a graphic to the board meeting to trace the program from July 2008, when the conservation program established its baseline year.
Ramsey said the energy and dollar savings is a result of efforts by teachers, staff, custodial and maintenance crews.
