ENERGY MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK FOR COLORADO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR

Purpose. The purpose of this project was to develop a nontechnical energy management handbook for Colorado school administrators who do not have training and/or experience in energy management. The handbook identifies the fundamentals for implementing a formal energy management program, demonstrates ways and means to improve energy conservation and provides specific examples of energy conservation measures in Colorado schools.;Handbook.;Section One: Energy Management Model. This section identifies the major components of an energy management program and describes the procedures necessary for their implementation.;Section Two: Operation and Maintenance Guides. The guides provide recommendations for improving energy consumption efficiency in the areas of heating, ventilating, air conditioning, lighting, and building envelope.;Section Three: Energy Conservation Measures. This section provides a list of energy conservation measures identified in specific Colorado school buildings by qualified engineers and architects. The measures are given with projected energy and money savings, cost of measure, simple payback, and contact person.;Section Four: Colorado Energy Conservation Directory. The directory provides lists of resource people and agencies for Colorado energy conservation information and Colorado energy conservation activities.
