A quote from the National Clearinghouse of Education Facilities (NCEF) appeared on a front page story of the New York Times earlier this month. The article, which focused on reducing energy bills in schools, included a quote from NCEF Director Judy Marks. Marks addressed the funding states received through the federal stimulus package. The article provided a number of ways schools could lower monthly energy expenses and included examples. As a result of the Times article, Marks also was interviewed on RAI Italia Radio about U.S. efforts to conserve energy in school buildings. Read the New York Times article.
The NCEF website provides extensive information on powering, heating, cooling, lighting and maintaining schools and higher education facilities to improve energy efficiency and conservation. Examples include: School Energy Management and College and University Energy Management. NCEF also has information on using solar, wind and geothermal: School Energy Management—Renewable Energy.
