The Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB) considers energy conservation and associated greenhouse gas emission reductions necessary in demonstrating responsible leadership and being a good local and global citizen.
As an educational institution we have the responsibility to deliver clear messaging to students on the importance of conserving energy and reducing our footprint on the planet.
Our Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan outlines the GECDSB's:
- Asset portfolios and energy management planning
- Compliance with the Province of Ontario's Green Energy Act
- Environmental stewardship and participation in the Ontario EcoSchools program
- Energy consumption data collection, reporting and reduction targets
- Energy procurement
- Renewable energy systems
- Energy conservation measures, goals and management strategy
