K-12 EducationSchool districts across the nation are responsible for creating and maintaining high-quality teaching and learning environments where students can achieve their maximum potential. This means continually planning for and providing comfortable and safe facilities that meet or exceed state standards and guidelines. Plagued by constrained budgets and deferred maintenance challenges, school districts often have to make tough choices between investments in educational programs and investments that reduce energy and operating costs.

A Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract is a valuable tool for achieving Infrastructure morernization, budget reduction, efficiency and sustainability goals without the need for upfront capital expenditure. Many states have enabling legislation that allows school districts to enter into such contracts with a qualified energy service company (ESCO). These contracts are designed so all project costs, including financing, are paid for by the energy cost savings.

With more than 25 years' experience in the energy and sustainability services field, NORESCO has delivered infrastructure upgrades and operational efficiency at school districts across the nation. A guaranteed energy savings contract with NORESCO brings you the experience, financial strength and partnership to modernize facilities and improve the learning environment with no upfront captial.

Here's how it works. The NORESCO team:

  • Identifies cost savings, infrastructure modernization, sustainability and revenue enhancement opportunities.
  • Implements a bundle of efficiency and technology improvements to be funded by project savings.
  • Guarantees the savings - if they don't materialize, we pay the difference.
We also offer various programs to promote green education and awareness throughout the school district, including conservation activities for teachers, students and clubs. We provide customized learning aids that enhance and integrate with existing curriculum and provide hands-on learning for students. Our Energy Conservation through Behavioral Change ® program is a customized and holistic approach designed to establish a culture of energy conservation across the district.
