Fresno Unified School District

Fresno Unified School DistrictThrough a strong commitment to education, the Fresno Unified School District (FUSD) has been able to reduce energy use from 68 million kWh in 2002, to 62 million kWh in 2007, despite the growth of the district from 6.8 million square feet in 2002 to 7.2 million square feet 2006. The educational program began in 2002 with the hiring of three full-time Energy Educator/Managers charged with raising awareness and increasing District focus on environmental conservation. The managers were able to closely examine electric, gas, and water use by the district and make appropriate changes to save energy. FUSDÕs accomplishments earned them an invitation by the California Coalition of Adequate School Housing (CASH), to educate other state school districts at their Annual CASH Conference.
