Fresno Unified School District (FUSD) is saving more than 7,232,000 kWh annually thanks to a comprehensive mix of upgrades and energy efficiency programs. Among other initiatives, FUSD passed district-wide energy conservation guidelines, conducted site audits and made better use of thermal storage units. A lighting retrofit project led to the replacement of inefficient T-12 lamps with newer, more-efficient T-8s. These and other efficiency projects have helped FUSD achieve substantial energy savings even while growing from 6.8 million square feet in 2002 to 7.2 million square feet in 2006.
