Maximizing Your Facility's Energy Savings in Preparation for Renewable Energy. Investing in solar has been slow to catch on in Wisconsin schools. However, as solar prices have decreased dramatically in the last 10-15 years, more schools are investigating the move to renewable energy. Making a facility as energy efficient as possible should be the first step before investing in renewable energy. Energy-efficient improvements can reduce utility costs and allow a facility to install a smaller solar array to support its building load. Learn how to prepare your facility for this type of installation by focusing on reducing energy consumption. Hear how the Mukwonago Area School District saved energy by incorporating a solar power system. This presentation will review the District's solar power dashboard to track electricity production and energy monitoring in real-time. In addition, FOCUS ON ENERGY® will touch on energy efficiency improvements, such as LED lighting and other upgrades to consider when integrating your facility with renewable energy systems.

Construction Project Close Out-Don't Stop Short of the Finish Line!So much effort is given towards the first 95% of a capital project – securing the funding, hiring a design and construction team, managing the design process, getting plan approvals and building permits, overseeing the construction of the school, outfitting the building with furniture, fixtures and equipment, opening the school, and keeping your school board informed throughout the process. Too many times the last 5% of the project, those tasks that happen after substantial completion and opening the school, are either rushed, procrastinated or ignored. This session will help you better understand all of those tasks, how to accomplish them, and the benefits that completing them effectively can bring to you and your district.
