The Moorpark School District took a intensive education and conservation approach to save energy. Without upgrading any systems, the district was able to cut energy use by 17,805,901 kWh, or 33.7% per year, saving $924,245. They also saved 92,995 Therms of natural gas and 35,757 gallons of water. Moorpark Unified achieved this by implementing strict guidelines for lighting, electronics and HVAC systems. They educated all teachers and staff to practice conservation wherever possible. Examples include: turning off lights in unused rooms, shutting off computers at night, shutting down HVAC during non school hours, maintaining strict temperature settings and many other energy saving practices. Through simple education and action they saved a significant amount of energy without spending a cent.
