Thirteen North Carolina Buildings Earn ENERGY STAR Label
Hendersonville, NC (PRWEB) December 14, 2011
A North Carolina school district is getting high marks in energy efficiency this semester. Thirteen buildings from Henderson County Public Schools have earned ENERGY STAR labels this fall, after a thorough review from Morrisville-based Southern Energy Management (SEM). Included in the project are a dozen elementary, middle and high schools, along with the district’s Information Technology Center.
“This is an intentional move for our school district,” said Bill Parker, assistant superintendent for administrative services. “Maintaining energy efficient facilities is part of our school district’s Strategic Plan. We have two LEED-certified schools and saw the opportunity to pursue the ENERGY STAR label with our other facilities as a natural next step.”
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Henderson County Public Schools was one of only seven North Carolina school districts that had buildings earn ENERGY STAR labels in 2011. School district energy manager Dave Lyons helped prepare the buildings for the ENERGY STAR process, performing internal audits that led to lighting retrofits prior to SEM’s review. He also helped get individual principals involved in reducing their school’s energy usage.
The verification process from SEM involved a review of buildings’ energy usage, after which the results were put through the EPA’s Portfolio Manager, producing a Statement of Energy Performance. One of SEM’s Professional Engineers gave each building a final inspection to make sure it conformed to the EPA’s strict guidelines.
“Working with Henderson County Schools was a treat. We’re not just teaching students the importance of sustainability, we’re showing them how to achieve it,” said SEM building science engineer Meghan McDermott. “Each of these buildings now meets high standards for efficiency, air quality, comfort and lighting. It’s something the students should be proud of.”
The ENERGY STAR program for buildings and plants differs from the more commonly recognized version for residential homes. The main distinction is that this type of verification involves existing buildings, rather than new construction.
Southern Energy Management conducted this work on behalf of Advanced Energy, a non-profit located in Raleigh, N.C. that focuses on energy efficiency solutions. Advanced Energy has worked with more than 40 school systems across the state of N.C. to benchmark energy performance, identify energy saving measures and promote energy awareness through programs such as the EPA ENERGY STAR program. This project is sponsored by Duke Energy, Progress Energy, North Carolina Electric Membership Co-Op, and Dominion NC Power and the electric ratepayers of North Carolina.

The Henderson County Public Schools Administrative Office is located on 414 Fourth Avenue West in the city of Hendersonville.

Obama Invokes OWS on Jobs Tour
President Obama is taking a bus tour, stopping in North Carolina and Virginia to tout his jobs plan. And immediately we saw the President attempt to channel the Occupy Wall Street protests, saying at the first stop in North Carolina, that the Republicans idea of a jobs plan is to gut regulations, and let Wall Street do whatever it wants. But who is he kidding, while Republicans may be taking in more, the Wall Street cash is flowing his way as well. Center for Economic and Policy Research’s Dean Baker discusses.
